3 FAQs about [Kailu energy storage power plant]
What is Kapolei energy storage?
Plus Power has brought online a 185 MW / 565 MWh state-of-the-art battery energy storage system that provides clean, firm capacity to the Hawaiian Electric Company. The Kapolei Energy Storage (“KES”) project is located on approximately eight acres of land zoned for industrial use (I-2: Intensive Industrial).
What makes Kapolei the most advanced battery energy storage facility?
Plus Power located the project near a substation connected to three other power plants so the battery “can be AAA to jump-start those other plants,” Keefe said. The combination of all these abilities in one site — capacity, grid services, black start — leads Keefe to call Kapolei “the most advanced battery energy storage facility on the planet.”
Does Hawaiian Electric 'curtail' solar power?
Customer-sited solar power has become so abundant in the region that Hawaiian Electric must regularly ‘curtail’ or turn off large volumes of existing utility-scale solar and wind to keep the electric system in balance.
