Waste Advantage Magazine – Ameresco Inc. Selected for Firm Renewable Energy Project on Maui, HI

With a goal to reduce Hawaii’s dependence on imported oil for power generation, Hawaiian Electric selected Ameresco Inc. to develop a firm renewable energy project on Maui. “Firm” resources differ from “variable” resources such as solar and wind in that firm resources are always available.

Ameresco’s proposed 40-megawatt biofuel-powered generator is expected to move the state closer to its clean energy goals while adding a reliable source of power. The facility will be built on property owned by Hawaiian Electric at Waena across from the Central Maui Landfill – Refuse and Recycling Center on Pulehu Road.
