Waikoloa Solar

About Waikoloa Solar

Waikoloa Solar is a 60 MWac solar photovoltaic project that includes 4-hour battery storage (240 MWh), which allows for solar energy to be stored during the day and used when it is needed at night.

Waikoloa Solar is located on 716 acres of private land located mauka of the Waikoloa Highlands Center, which was previously the site of the Waikoloa Highlands residential subdivision proposal. The Land Use Commission has since reverted the zoning of the land from Rural to Agricultural.

Solar energy is a quiet, emission-free, and economy-stimulating addition to any community. Once complete, the project will generate clean, local power.  Clearway intends to be the long-term owner and operator of the project.

Waikoloa Solar Project Interconnection

Clearway is proposing to interconnect to the existing Waikoloa Substation, adjacent to the Clearway-owned project substation. The existing 69kV Anaehoomalu-Mauna Lani circuit will be cut and both sides terminated in the new breaker to satisfy the Maui requirement of 30 MW maximum loss-of-generation contingency and interconnection through two transmission lines.
