A Mainland wind farm developer has received a $117 million federal loan guarantee to pay for construction of its planned Kahuku project on Oahu.
First Wind, based in Boston, announced the award Friday from the U.S. Department of Energy. It will use the financing to install 12 wind turbines that will generate a total of 30 megawatts of electricity — enough to power approximately 7,700 Oahu homes. The power will be sold to Hawaiian Electric Co.

Proposed wind farm in Kahuku
Mike Goodman of UPC Wind with Wren Wescott reported that UPC Wind built the wind farm currently on Maui, and within those one and a half years of operation the wind farm has generated about 9-10% of Maui 's electricity. UPC Wind is dedicated to wind farms across the country. The company builds, owns, and operates their wind farms – they are not just developers. Goodman noted that UPC Wind is committed to working with the surrounding neighbors, and highlighted several reasons why a wind farm is needed. Goodman also noted the several steps of building a wind farm, and welcomed anyone that would like to take a tour of the lands at any time.
