THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Jan. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Plus Power ™ announced it has begun operating its Kapolei Energy Storage facility on Oahu, Hawaii, the most advanced grid-scale battery energy
Nearly all of Hawaii''s utility-scale battery storage capacity is installed with onshore wind turbines or solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, allowing excess electricity from those generators to be stored and used later. As of January 2020, about 30% of Hawaii''s total generating capacity is solar or wind. The non-dispatchable nature of these
With 565 megawatt-hours of storage, the battery can''t directly replace the coal plant''s energy production, but it works with the island''s bustling solar sector to fill that role. So the batteyr

Battery storage in Hawaii works by using rechargeable batteries to store energy generated from renewable sources like solar power. For example, the kapolei energy storage facility utilizes large-scale battery technology to store energy that can be dispatched when needed, helping to balance supply and demand on the Hawaiian electric system.

Now Hawaii has an answer: It’s a gigantic battery, unlike the gigantic batteries that have been built before. The Kapolei Energy Storage system actually began commercial operations before Christmas on the industrial west side of Oahu, according to Plus Power, the Houston-based firm that developed and owns the project.
This project is a postcard from the future – batteries will soon be providing these services, at scale, on the mainland.” Located on 8 acres of industrial land on the southwest side of Oahu, the project is comprised of 158 Tesla Megapack 2 XL lithium-ferro-phosphate batteries, each about the size of a shipping container.
The Kapolei battery was initially intended to come online before the coal plant retired. Covid disrupted deliveries for the grid battery industry across the board, and Kapolei’s remote location in the middle of the Pacific Ocean didn’t make things easier.
According to Hawaiian Electric, the project will save customers money. The Hawaiian Electric filing for KES estimated it will reduce electric bills by an average of $0.28 per month over a 20-year contract life. The battery plant's specifications include:
The KES batteries will help replace the grid capacity formerly provided by an AES coal power plant less than a mile away, which once produced up to one fifth of the electricity on the island of Oahu. In addition, such areas are already devoted to heavy industry or commercial development, which means NIMBY objections are less likely.
