Owner data does not fully agree across sources.
EIA typically reports the operating utility, while GEM resolves to the financial owner or parent corporation. Both can be correct.

The KIUC Kapaia PV and BA Storage Project Hy is a hybrid power plant located in Kauai County, Hawaii. The plant, which began operating in 2017, has a total capacity of 28 MW and is operated by Tesla Inc. It combines solar photovoltaic generation with battery energy storage. The facility is comprised of two generators utilizing both solar photovoltaic technology and batteries. The battery energy storage system (BESS) has a capacity of 52 MWh and a duration of 4 hours, employing lithium-ion battery chemistry (LIB). The solar component uses a fixed-tilt tracking system.
The plant's primary fuel source is listed as MWH. In its most recent year of operation, the plant generated 20,976 MWh, resulting in a capacity factor of 8.5%. The KIUC Kapaia PV and BA Storage Project Hy is ranked 13th out of 20 power plants in Hawaii and 660th out of 1205 nationally. Financial data is available for the plant, sourced from lbnl_solar. The plant operates outside of a formal balancing authority ("No BA").

This plant is in a bilateral market territory without organized wholesale pricing. Nodal pricing data is not available.
No wholesale contracts disclosed in FERC EQR for this plant.
FERC EQR captures bilateral wholesale energy + capacity contracts ≥$1M/yr filed quarterly by jurisdictional sellers — covers renewable PPAs, thermal energy sales agreements, capacity contracts, and tolling agreements alike. Many plants don't appear: regulated-utility output flows to ratepayers via cost-of-service rather than bilateral contracts; small projects fall below the filing threshold; tax-equity-financed renewables route offtake to investors not utilities; merchant plants sell into ISO clearing markets without bilateral contracts. News-extracted buyer facts (below) may surface contracts disclosed only through announcements.
