BC,
The 30-minute rolling blackouts, which covered most of the island, raised renewed concerns by some residents over state leaders’ decision to close Oahu’s last remaining coal-fired plant in 2022 even though Hawaiian Electric had failed to bring online all the renewable projects needed to replace it."
I've seen that coal plant myself the last time I visited Oahu. It looked rather dinky to me.

I'm surprised that I didn't see more solar farms in Oahu, by the way. I'm guessing land space is at a premium, and the locals prefer vegetation over PV panels.

I don't recall seeing many wind turbines, either, but maybe that's because I didn't go to the northern part of the island.
