And to you as well.
Don't forget to keep us updated on your progress and any obstacles you might encounter on the way. You might want to start with a backup generator as your power source, although I don't know if they are designed for continuous use. An LM1500 with the enhancement of ceramic-coated first stage turbine blades, will run continuously for months and months, given a clean supply of oil. Run it at 6,500 rpm and you have a winner for many years.
You might find that HELCO is anxious to shed Puna from its service area given the obstacles and related issues, such as hot lava, so getting authorization might not be so hard after all.
Keep us posted

Yes OnoOno,
Micro could be a cluster of houses with a more modest energy plant; Or a cluster of businesses/Hospitals/schools etc wit a larger generation output.
In rural areas like Puna, the grid is unwieldy.
The first step: Change the law to allow competition with HELCO, then let the natural process/progress occur.
This discussion has been fun, but I'm outa this thread; Best wishes to you!
