In December 2018, AES made history by bringing the world's largest operational solar-plus-storage system online, creating a new model for stabilizing large-scale renewable energy. Designed for the Kauai Island Utility Cooperative, this first-of-its-kind DC (direct current)-coupled solution, dubbed "the PV Peaker Plant," fully integrates photovoltaic cells and storage at unprecedented scale to transform variable renewable energy generation into safe, reliable, and readily dispatchable power. This project will deliver roughly 11 percent of the island's power, bringing Hawai'i one step closer to achieving its goal of being powered by 100 percent renewable energy by 2045.
