We replace imported fossil fuel with local, renewable resources to produce energy.

“Honua Ola” in Hawaiian means “living earth” and represents our commitment to creating sustainable green energy, supporting local agriculture, working to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, and stimulating our local economy. Once operational, Honua Ola’s plant in Pepeʻekeo will use state-of-the-art technology to make available 21.5 megawatts of firm, renewable power fueled by organic material grown on-island. Responsibly managed forests, including the replanting of trees, will offset the carbon emissions of the power production process.

Leaders in Hawaiʻi and globally have made commitments to aggressive sustainability goals, many of them centered around renewable energy. The State of Hawaiʻi mandates 100% renewable energy in the electric sector by the year 2045. The United Nations recently created sustainable development goals by 2030, and Honua Ola positively impacts several of those goals. Implementing the changes we need to make falls to individuals, to communities, and to projects like Honua Ola.
