Update
In June 2005, Hawaiian Electric Company applied to the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) for permission to build a new 110 megawatt (MW) generating unit adjacent to the company’s Barber’s Point Tank Farm in Campbell Industrial Park. At the same time, HECO filed an application for a Community Benefits Package, also known as “give-backs,” for people in the neighborhood of the proposed new plant.
The PUC approved the new generating unit in May 2007 and a partial Community Benefits package in June 2007. The plant is completed and undergoing performance testing.
The PUC also approved an agreement between Hawaiian Electric and the Consumer Advocate that the new plant will be fueled 100 percent by renewable biofuel.
