Wind power offers a local and clean alternative; without burning fossil fuels, building power plants, or relying on foreign sources for our fuel.

Kaheawa Wind farm in Maui, HI operates in harmony with a range of native plant and animal species while providing clean, renewable power that currently meets 9% of Maui’s electrical needs.

The name “Kaheawa” itself describes the wind pattern typically found at Kaheawa pastures where our wind farm is located: wind coming from the windward (and much wetter) side of Maui that often brings cloud formations with it that seem to hover over the ridgeline.

With an abundance of this natural resource and a tradition of self-reliance, Maui is an ideal setting to capture clean, renewable wind energy. Operation of Kaheawa Wind helps reduce the emissions that lead to global warming and other environmental problems and provides local, long-term energy solutions for the people of Maui today, and for future generations.
