AES Waikoloa Solar Hybrid is a 60 MW hybrid power plant located in Hawaii County, Hawaii. The plant, which began operating in 2023, is owned and operated by AES Distributed Energy, a subsidiary of AES. It utilizes both solar photovoltaic technology and battery storage. The facility has two generators and a 120 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) with a duration of 4 hours, using lithium-ion battery chemistry (LIB). The solar array employs single-axis tracking. AES Waikoloa Solar Hybrid is ranked as the 8th largest solar plant in Hawaii (out of 20) and 579th nationally (out of 1205).
The plant's primary fuel source is listed as "MWH". In its most recent year of operation, AES Waikoloa Solar Hybrid generated 61,037 MWh of electricity, achieving a capacity factor of 11.6%. The plant operates within the balancing authority of Hawaiian Electric Co Inc. Financial data is available for the facility, sourced from LBNL Solar.

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.
