The Kawailoa Wind project has just announced that they have begun its heavy construction of its facility on the North Shore of Oahu. This project will be the laregst wind energy project in the state and use a total of 30 wind turbines to generate enough electricity to power approximately 14,500 homes on the island. Michael Alvarez, president and chief financial officer of First Wind, the developer of the project, stated. “We appreciate the cooperation and support of the Hawaiian regulatory officials, local government, landowners, neighbors and our construction team in safely building Hawaii’s largest renewable energy facility to date.” The energy generated by the turbines will be sold to the Hawaii Electric Company, which will in turn provide electricity at a reduced rate to consumers.
