HECO seeks firms to supply renewable power to Oahu grid

Advertiser Staff

Hawaiian Electric Co. is looking for developers interested in supplying renewable energy to its power grid on O'ahu.

The local utility recently issued a request for proposals asking bidders to provide up to 100 megawatts of renewable energy.

The additional power will be in addition to HECO's existing renewable energy sources, which include the H-POWER waste-to-energy plant and the soon-to-be completed Campbell Industrial Park plant, which provide 110 megawatts of power and will run on renewable biodiesel fuel.
