Abstract
In May 1989, Hawaiian Electric Company, the electric utility serving Honolulu and the island of Oahu, issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the purchase of electricity produced from geothermal resources on the island of Hawaii and transmitted by a combination of overhead lines and submarine cable to Oahu. This paper describes the preparation of the RFP, the submittal of Proposals and the evaluation process than led to the selecttion of Kilauea Energy Partners as the entity with whom the Hawaiian Electric is working cooperatively to define a technically and financially feasible Project.
