Kaheawa Wind 1 Informational Open House, Aug. 14

Operating since 2006, Kaheawa Wind 1, Maui’s first wind farm, was recently selected to the Final Award Group for the Stage 3 request for proposal (“RFP”) from Hawaiian Electric to continue operations at the existing wind farm. The facility has a production capacity of 30 megawatts of power, serving approximately 17,000 homes annually and is located in Ukumehame above Mā‘alaea Harbor.

“To continue a legacy of safety, environmental stewardship, and respect for the land and community, Kaheawa Wind 1 is committed to sharing details and gathering feedback about the project,” company representatives said.

The event will follow an open house format and refreshments will be served. The open house takes place on Wednesday, Aug, 14, 2024, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Malcolm Center, located in the Maui Research & Technology Park in Kīhei. Guests will have the opportunity to visit various informational booths and provide public comments.
