AES Kekaha Solar, LLC Hybrid is a 28 MW hybrid power plant located in Kauai County, Hawaii. The plant, which began operating in 2019, is owned and operated by AES Distributed Energy. It utilizes both solar photovoltaic technology and battery energy storage. The facility includes single-axis solar tracking and a 70 MWh lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) with a duration of 5 hours.
The plant's latest annual generation was 25,987 MWh, resulting in a capacity factor of 10.6%. AES Kekaha Solar is ranked as the 12th largest solar facility out of 20 in Hawaii, and 658th out of 1205 nationally. Financial data is available for the plant via LBNL, and news reports indicate at least one article related to hazards at the facility.

Capacity Factor
Positive values indicate net discharge (generation exceeds station load). Negative values indicate net charging. Pure battery storage plants are typically net negative due to round-trip efficiency losses.

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.
