New mega battery will help Hawaii say goodbye to its last coal generator

"American utility-scale energy storage developer Plus Power is to build a ...battery storage facility in Hawaii ... the last- remaining coal-fired generation in Hawaii – will end operations in September, 2022."


"The Kapolei Energy Storage project is the largest battery storage project selected by Hawaiian Electric, and is a massive boost to Plus Power, kicking the company into the big leagues, an impressive win for a company that boasts only 15 employees and a 12MW battery project to ensure reliability at a car factory microgrid in Mexico."

"The KES project will consist of lithium-ion batteries and will be located on roughly eight acres of land in the Kapolei Harborside industrial project where it will interconnect at a critical Hawaiian Electric substation, and will provide load shifting and fast-frequency response to the island grid,"
