South Korea’s Hanwha Energy has announced that it has won a large-scale power generation project ordered by the Hawaiian Electric Co (HECO). It has won the contract to build the Kupehau solar project, consisting of a 60 MW solar farm and 240 MWh of battery energy storage system on the island of Oahu. Hanwha Energy will be responsible for building the plant and operating it for 20 years.

A spokesperson for Hanwha Energy said: “The project is quite meaningful in that we have consecutively won orders for solar and energy storage systems for power generation facilities in the USA.”

Previously, Hanwha Energy won the Hoohana solar project, building a 52 MW solar power generation facility with a 208 MWh ESS.
