Located in southeastern Maui, the 21MW Auwahi Wind Farm will utilize eight Siemens wind turbines to generate enough renewable power for approximately 10,000 average Maui homes. Initial construction activities are underway and full mobilization at the site is slated to begin by the end of the second quarter 2012. The project is expected to be in commercial operation by year-end 2012. The balance of plant contract has been awarded to RMT WindConnect.
Sempra US Gas & Power will continue leading the development of Auwahi Wind and operate the project once construction is complete.
"We are pleased to have the opportunity to further expand our highly successful strategic partnership with BP Wind Energy while helping Hawaii advance one step closer to its renewable energy goals," said Jim Sahagian, vice president of renewables for Sempra US Gas & Power.
The entire power output from the wind farm has been sold under a long-term...BP, Sempra US Gas & Power to jointly develop Auwahi Wind Farm
