Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) - Pu‘uloa Microgrid and Backbone Project Hybrid Dispatchable
Microgrid, Island of O‘ahu.
The Pu‘uloa Microgrid and Backbone Project seeks to construct a hybrid microgrid and backbone,
installed throughout Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam (JBPHH) and would interconnect and interact with
the HECO grid.
During normal grid conditions, energy would flow seamlessly from firm generation assets
across the microgrid to HECO and provide an important grid-forming resource.
