Hawaii’s Largest Wind Project Is Online

By /
First Wind’s Kawailoa wind farm situated on Oahu’s North Shore is up and running, according to documents filed by HECO with the Public Utilities Commission on Wednesday. 

The 69 mw wind farm, which includes 30 wind turbines, started generating electricity for Oahu residents last week. 

Here’s some video and pics Civil Beat snagged last week.
