The Hu Honua bioenergy facility

The Hu Honua bioenergy facility is a 24-megawatt (MW) power station that converts locally grown sustainable biomass into electricity. The former coal-burning power plant at Pepeekeo is being retrofitted with modern “green” technology to produce electricity from locally grown crops and surplus green waste that would otherwise go unused or into landfills.
