Hoku Solar will partner with Helix Electric to build the photovoltaic facility.

The power plant is expected to be placed in service in late this year.

A&B will sell the electricity generated by the Port Allen Solar Farm to the island’s electrical utility company, Kaua’i Island Utility Cooperative, under a 20-year agreement recently approved by the Hawai’i Public Utilities Commission.

In December 2011, Hoku Solar delivered the Kapolei Sustainable Energy Park, a 1.18MW solar energy facility developed by Forest City Sustainable Resources.

Hoku Corp is a solar energy products and services company with three business units Hoku Materials, Hoku Solar, and Tianwei Solar USA.
