Hawaiian Electric this week selected 16 winning solar-storage and standalone battery projects totaling 460 megawatts of solar capacity and nearly 3 gigawatt-hours of storage as the utility moves to close fossil fuel plants in the state. Among the chosen developers are Canada's Innergex Renewable Energy and Hawaiian Electric itself. It's the largest renewables procurement in Hawaii's aggressive clean-energy development history as the state moves toward a 100 percent clean energy by 2045 goal. HECO is now in contract negotiations with the winning third-party developers.
