In 2025, Hawaiian Electric expects to further increase renewable generation and battery energy storage on Oʻahu and Hawaiʻi Island and add thousands of rooftop solar systems on all islands.
The Kapolei Energy Storage facility on Oahu is a major utility-scale battery energy storage system. It is the first of its kind to be used by a major utility to balance the grid, providing fast frequency response, synthetic inertia, and black start capabilities.
Brandon Keefe, Executive Chairman of Plus Power, hailed this achievement as a “landmark milestone in the transition to clean energy.” The KES battery project, spread across 8 acres near Honolulu, brings a total power capacity of 185 megawatts and 565 megawatt-hours of electricity, serving as an electrical “shock absorber” for Oahu’s power grid.
This project is a postcard from the future – batteries will soon be providing these services, at scale, on the mainland.” Located on 8 acres of industrial land on the southwest side of Oahu, the project is comprised of 158 Tesla Megapack 2 XL lithium-ferro-phosphate batteries, each about the size of a shipping container.
The KES batteries play a crucial role in reducing the curtailment of renewable energy by 69%, allowing Hawaiian Electric to integrate 10% more new utility-scale renewables than previously projected. Additionally, the project is estimated to save customers money, reducing electric bills by an average of $0.28 per month over a 20-year contract life.
According to Hawaiian Electric, the project will save customers money. The Hawaiian Electric filing for KES estimated it will reduce electric bills by an average of $0.28 per month over a 20-year contract life. The battery plant's specifications include:
