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), was responsible for conducting 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.

SCOPE: The scope of work involves collecting and analyzing site-specific data for the Laukiha’a and Pa’ala’a
developments to estimate energy requirements for both common-area and individual lot loads. This includes reviewing
provided documentation, conducting site visits, and developing rough order of magnitude energy models. Based on
these estimates, the team will explore several conceptual options for solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage
(BES) systems, including off-grid solutions, community-based renewable energy models, and dedicated systems for
water pumping stations. Each option will be evaluated for feasibility, energy output, cost, and benefits compared to
existing HECO service plans. Findings and recommendations will be documented in a formal report, including system
layouts, energy projections, financial analysis, and comparative assessments.

We provided findings in a report, including conceptual design, equipment layouts, electrical interconnections, and one-
line diagrams; prepared technical specifications for the backup generator and associated electrical system, including
permitting and code references. In addition, our team evaluated PV and/or battery energy storage systems and
prepared a budgetary cost estimate cost-saving options.
