This small condo complex in North Kihei is a hidden treasure, tucked between a couple of other resorts which all share the same beautiful sandy beach. Kihei Kai consists of only 24 apartments and an office/front desk for vacation rentals. It's a 2-story building, right on Sugar Beach! There's a cute little pool and a grassy lawn with an outdoor shower.

If you want a vacation home that feels personal and homey, this might be more appealing than a larger complex with hundreds of units. Guests mingle on the lawn at sunset and even enjoy pot luck dinners together.

Maalaea Bay is where the Humpback Whales come to have their calves each winter. The beach stretches for miles so you can spend your morning walking and looking for shells. Sunset viewing and whale watching are prime activities here. Want to take a cruise? Maalaea Harbor is only minutes away. Make arrangements for a snorkel trip or whale watch. There's also a surf break here, which is best in summer.

Kaheawa Wind Power - is a 30 MegaWatt wind farm located in the West Maui Mountains high above Maui's scenic shores, and very visible from the resort areas of Maalaea, Kihei and Wailea. They are owned and operated by UPC Hawaii Wind Partners, a Massachusetts-based wind farm company.

The U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have agreed to join forces with UPC Hawaii Wind Partners to study the integration of wind technology into the Hawai'i utility system. This is the first such partner site for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's wind technology program outside of its base in Colorado. We are lucky to have this opportunity on Maui.

Taken from a beach in North Kihei, this picture shows the 20 wind turbines on the ridge above the strip of Maalaea Bay condos at the shore.

We have strong tradewinds on Maui, and they get funneled through the central valley, picking up speed. The location of the wind farm takes advantage of these accelerated winds. About 10% of our energy needs is currently being met with the power produced here at Kaheawa Wind Farm. This translates to saving the island of Maui 600 barrels of oil per day.... and that's what the alternative is... diesel generating plants!

Since Maui is such a great place to embrace with power, many homeowners are taking advantage of this sustainable and free resource. What about you? Will windpower work for you?
