A California energy company has acquired a 22-megawatt wind energy project on Maui for an undisclosed price, the company announced today.
San Diego-based Sempra Generation, a subsidiary of Sempra Energy, said it has bought Auwahi Wind Energy LLC from Shell WindEnergy Inc., a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell.
The proposed Auwahi Wind Energy project could begin construction in 2011 and start operating in 2012 on the Ulapalakua Ranch in southeastern Maui, according to Sempra executives.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"Consistent with our growing renewable presence in the southwestern United States, this project further expands Sempra Generation's footprint in one of the fastest growing renewable energy markets while further advancing the sustainability goals of Maui and the state of Hawaii," said Michael W. Allman, president and chief executive officer of Sempra Generation.
The Maui project includes a battery energy storage unit, which could store as much as 28 megawatt-hours of wind energy generated by the project's windmills, the company said.
