Hawaii Electric Light reports that generation margins have returned to normal levels after one of Hamakua Energy Partners’ combustion turbine units was returned to service. HEP’s second unit is expected to return to service early this week, which will improve margins even further.

Hawaii Electric Light reports that generation margins have returned to normal levels after one of Hamakua Energy Partners’ combustion turbine units was returned to service. HEP’s second unit is expected to return to service early this week, which will improve margins even further.

“The increase in the number of available units improves our reserve margins, and we expect to have sufficient generation,” said Rhea Lee-Moku, Hawaii Electric Light spokeswoman. “On a daily basis, we estimate our energy needs to meet the needs of our customers.”
