The AES Maui Kuihelani Solar Hybrid plant is a 120 MW hybrid power plant located in Maui County, Hawaii. It is owned by AES and operated by AES Distributed Energy. The plant utilizes both solar photovoltaic technology and battery energy storage. The facility began operating in 2024 and is the second-largest of three utility-scale solar plants in the state, and ranks 441st of 514 nationally.
The plant features single-axis solar tracking and a 240 MWh lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) with a duration of 4 hours. The plant's latest annual generation was 106,800 MWh, resulting in a capacity factor of 10.2%. The plant operates within the Hawaiian Electric Co Inc balancing authority. Financial data is available for the plant, 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.
