from their website & April county council meeting:
HELCO has 623 miles of 69kV high voltage lines
3,141 miles of 12kV stepped down distribution lines
Added: HELCO uses bunker oil, diesel & jet fuel, along with their hydroelectric generators on the Wailuku... they purchase all of the remaining fuel oil, wind, geothermal, hydro, biofuel, OTEC, solar, etc. generated electricity. A really good resource for those interested is the research by the Kohala Center... available online,
