Kauai is moving from diesel generators to renewable energy with help from Tesla | Ars Technica
'Kauai also has a more aggressive renewables policy than the rest of the state—whereas the state decided on a 2015 renewable portfolio standard of 40 percent renewable energy by 2030, Kauai is pushing for 70 percent renewable energy on the island by 2030 (PDF) and 100 percent renewable energy by 2045. '
'The batteries are intended to store Kauai’s abundant solar energy resources during the day and dispatch them when necessary, often at night. '
'But in recent years, Hawaii has been moving to more renewable energy to bring some assurance of stability to the islands. '
'Hawaii specifically represents unique potential for proponents of renewable energy. '
'But the Tesla project will allow the island to send 100-percent renewable energy “more frequently, with greater stability,” the company said. '
