Hawaii Undersea Power Grid Routes Mapped

Researchers from the University of Hawaii were contracted in June to survey the ocean floor between the Hawaiian Islands to find the best routes for undersea power cables. The project involves connecting cables between Lanai, Molokai, Oahu, and Maui. Nine routes were recommended last week.

The report from UH had a price tag of $1.5 million.

The cable is expected to be at least thirty miles long and able to transfer 400 megawatts of power.
