After receiving approval of the ground lease from the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, Kaua‘i Island Utility Cooperative (KIUC) is ready to begin work on its $54 million Anahola solar project. The estimated cost to KIUC’s members for the solar project is around 12.5 cents per kilowatt hour, while the cost of oil generation is around 24 cents. This solar project will use local labor where possible and is a large step towards KIUC reaching its goal of generating 50 percent of its energy from renewable resources by 2023. See KIUC’s press release for more.
