Helemano Substation DG
BrownfieldWahiawa, Honolulu, Hawaii · Hawaiian Electric Co Inc
Helemano Substation DG is a oil plant in Wahiawa, Honolulu, Hawaii, retired 2010-04-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 5 MW of generation, so the grid hookup, transmission rights, and often cooling-water access are already in place — collapsing the speed-to-power timeline versus a greenfield build.
