quote:Hawaiian Electric is not going to build any more power plants. They are tending to do long term contracts with IPP (Independent Power Producers). However, they are looking at buying their own solar farms, utility solar power. They own a couple big solar farms. The whole solar panel power industry is in turmoil, massive bankruptcies going on with the loss of net-feed power subsidies. Hawaiian Electric tried to get 3 huge solar farms from Sun Edison, and they are on the verge of collapse. They were unable to deliver on the contract, so they have been canceled. Sun Edison value is down 90%.

Isn't it time to start seriously talking about large scale storage solutions for utilities? Or is the tech not there yet?
