Kauai to Hit 80% Renewable Power With Solar-Charged Hydro Storage

GreenTechMedia

Hawaii's island of Kauai further burnished its reputation for figuring out clean energy years ahead of the mainland. If approved — a fairly complex process, given the land-use requirements — the project would bring KIUC's electricity mix to 80 percent clean energy by the mid-2020s. We need long-duration storage.".
