Another big solar farm coming to West Oahu after similar project gets rejected


A 5-megawatt solar farm in West Oahu is making its way through the process with a consultant for the developer of the project presenting plans to the area neighborhood board next week.
Kawika McKeague of Honolulu architecture firm G70 is scheduled to give a presentation on the project to the Makakilo/Kapolei/Honokai Hale Neighborhood Board on Wednesday evening.
The solar farm is expected to be built in Kalaeloa just below the Kalaeloa Heritage Park along Coral Sea Road.
Earlier this year, the Hawaii Community Development Authority, the state agency regulating development in Kalaeloa, entered into lease negotiations with Aloha Solar Energy Fund II/ECC Energy Solutions LLC on the project.
Aloha Solar was one of six organizations that expressed interest in building a 5-megawatt solar farm in Kalaeloa on about 20 acres.
Interestingly, last month, the HCDA nixed another developer's plan to build a large solar farm in Kalaeloa.
