Moving this here as it fits better. https://evols.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/b...0Draft.pdf
This is the Draft EIS from 1988 detailing the plans for large scale geothermal production for inter-island electricity.
The State of Hawaii anticipates that by the year 2007 up to 500 deliverable megawatts (MW or MWe) of geothermally-generated electricity would be needed for transmission from the island of Hawaii to the islands of Maui (up to 50 megawatts) and Oahu via an interisland cable system.
Things however haven't gone as planned as the pesky Volcano Village folks got Kahauale'a Geothermal Project stopped, and PDF & friends got Mid-Pacific Geothermal Venture stopped (couldn't find steam either) and so only PGV was built ultimately.
However, the slate has now been wiped clean (literally) so why not dust off the old maps and plans?
KILAUEA MIDDLE EAST RIFT: Total GRS Area 177-208 Ac
Power Plant Sites (4)
Drilling Sites (15)
...
KAMAILI SECTION: Total GRS Area = 121-148 Ac
Power Plant Sites (4)
Drilling Sites (15)
...
KAPOHO SECTION: Total GRS Area = 127-151 Ac
Power Plant Sites (4)
Drilling sites (12)
...
The Kamaili section is centrally located and is separated from the Kapoho section by the sparsely developed Leilani Estates subdivision.
Leilani Estates is smack dab central for geothermal in the LERZ and once again sparsely developed. How convenient?
