24. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost)
SCOPE: The Hoolehua Public Water System (PWS No. 230), as part of the State of Hawaii’s Department of Hawaiian
Homelands, provides critical infrastructure to provide fresh domestic water serving native Hawaiian homesteaders on
the rural island of Molokai’s Hawaiian Homelands. RHA Energy Partners, as a subconsultant to G70 (Prime), conducted
a feasibility study and conceptual design of a potential solar PV and battery energy storage system microgrid at the
water system’s main deep well pumping and transfer station. The study evaluated the technical, financial, and
programmatic feasibility for a net-zero energy microgrid at the pump station to help improve the sites power
redundancy and resiliency, along with reducing long-term operational energy costs of the pump station.
RHA Energy Partners was responsible for the technical evaluation, including site assessments, of the pump station’s
existing electrical infrastructure, conceptual design of a ground-mount solar PV and battery energy storage system,
electrical tie-in to the sites existing electrical infrastructure and emergency generator assets, and microgrid site
controls. RHA Energy Partners responsibilities also included engagement with the electric utility company, Hawaiian
Electric Company, to discuss both high-level utility partnering opportunities and staff-level technical interconnection of
a potential microgrid. Such early-stage planning and coordination was critical due to the utility’s relatively small-scale
rural electric grid and potential impact from such a commercial non-utility microgrid. Finding, results, and
recommendations from the study and concept design included implementation plans and procurement support for
potential future procurement and implementation of the microgrid concept.

RHA developed a strategic energy master plan to
help Punahou School better understand its overall
campus-wide energy use, determine its maximum
on-site renewable energy generation and net-
zero energy potential, and develop a roadmap to
implement those opportunities that were identified
as both technically and financially feasible. RHA also
provided:
• Professional engineering design services for the
design of campus-wide LED lighting retrofits
• Campus-wide building submetering and energy
monitoring platform
• Various building HVAC retrofits
• Professional services included preparation of
bid documents and overseeing competitive
