AES' Kuihelani Facility: Biggest Solar Plant In Hawaii Flips the Switch on Clean Energy
Yesterday, The AES Corporation's (NYSE:AES) AES Hawaii initiated operations at the Kuihelani Solar-plus-Storage facility on Maui, the largest solar project in Hawaii.
昨天，AES夏威夷电力实业公司（NYSE：AES）在毛伊岛上的Kuihelani太阳能+储能设施启动运营，该项目是夏威夷最大的太阳能项目。
Situated on 450 acres in central Maui, between Kuihelani Highway and Maui Veterans Highway, the Kuihelani Solar-plus-Storage project generates 60 MW of renewable energy.
该Kuihelani太阳能+储能项目位于毛伊岛中部的450英亩土地上，在Kuihelani公路和Maui Veterans公路之间，可发电60兆瓦的可再生能源。
Leveraging the site's dual-use potential, AES Hawaii is collaborating with Hooulu Aina Farms in nearby Waikapu, supporting Maui's agricultural and food production.
AES夏威夷与附近Waikapu的Hooulu Aina农场合作，利用该场地的双重用途潜力，支持毛伊岛的农业和食品生产。
Notably, AES Hawaii had earlier secured a 25-year power purchase agreement with Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (NYSE:HE), effective May 31, 2024, supplying renewable energy to Maui's power grid at 8 cents per kilowatt-hour.
值得注意的是，AES夏威夷早已与夏威夷电力实业公司（纽约证交所：HE）签订了一份为期25年的电力购买协议，自2024年5月31日起，以每千瓦时8美分的价格向毛伊岛的电网提供可再生能源。
Furthermore, the project helps eliminate the requirement to import two million barrels of oil for Maui's electricity production.
此外，该项目有助于消除毛伊岛电力生产进口200万桶石油的要求。
AES Hawaii President Sandra Larsen said, "Kuihelani Solar-plus-Storage exemplifies what is possible for powering our future when you combine an exceptional renewable energy project with community-minded partners to provide an essential service for living and working in Hawaii."
AES夏威夷总裁桑德拉·拉森（Sandra Larsen）表示：“Kuihelani太阳能+储能项目展示了什么是可能的，当你将优秀的可再生能源项目与以社区为重心的合作伙伴相结合，为居住和在夏威夷工作提供必要的服务。”
"We broke ground in July 2022, overcame challenges posed by supply chain logistics, and are now producing much-needed clean energy for Maui's power grid."
“我们于2022年7月开始动工，克服了供应链物流带来的挑战，现在为毛伊岛的电网生产了迫切需要的清洁能源。”
Colton Ching, Hawaiian Electric Senior Vice President, Planning & Technology, commented, "With this project, our state takes another significant step towards achieving our renewable energy goals. Adding both renewable power and energy storage will help reduce our use of fossil fuels, protect us from the effects of climate change, ensure reliable service and provide energy security for Maui."
夏威夷电力规划与技术高级副总裁Colton Ching评论道：“通过该项目，我们的州在实现可再生能源目标方面又迈出了重要的一步。增加可再生能源和储能将有助于减少化石燃料的使用，保护我们免受气候变化的影响，确保可靠的服务并为毛伊岛提供能源安全。”
Last month, AES disclosed the sale of a 47.3% equity stake in AES Brasil to Auren Energia for around $640 million in proceeds.
上个月，AES披露将AES巴西的47.3％股权出售给Auren Energia，获得大约6.4亿美元的收益。
