Together, we are accelerating the future of energy in Hawaiʻi
Hawaiʻi was the first state in the nation to mandate that 100% of its electricity be generated by renewable or clean energy. AES Hawaiʻi supports this ambitious goal with 12 projects in operation or under development statewide, contributing more than one-fourth of the state’s renewable energy portfolio. AES Hawaiʻi is the largest renewable energy developer in the state, and has provided reliable, low-cost energy for Hawai‘i’s communities since 1992.

Strengthening Hawaiʻi and local communities
AES Hawaiʻi people are your family, friends, and neighbors. We are committed to improving the lives of our fellow residents, protecting our shared island home, and building stronger communities across the state. Renewable energy benefits every resident, every family, and every business in Hawaiʻi.
We partner with local nonprofits, state agencies, customers, and others to support social justice, energy equity, education, workforce development, environmental stewardship, native species conservation, and community health and resilience.
RESILIENCY
Strengthening local energy security
Building a resilient power grid is key to Hawaiʻi’s clean energy future. AES Hawaiʻi’s Kūihelani Solar + Storage project, which became operational in 2024, is delivering locally-sourced power to Maui residents and businesses at a lower, more stable cost than traditional thermal assets or imported power, and supplying 15% of Maui’s energy needs. The proposed Kūihelani Solar Phase 2 project will generate an additional 10% of Maui’s energy needs.
