AECOM Technology Corp. Wins Bid to Write Hawaii Undersea Inter Island Environmental Impact Statement

Los Angeles-based AECOM Technology Corp., was recently awarded a $2.9 million contract to prepare the environmental impact statement for building an undersea transmission cable. According to Hawaii Lt. Gov. James “Duke” Aiona Jr., the cables would transmit 400 megawatts of renewable electricity from the Interisland Wind Initiative farms in Molokai and Lanai to Oahu.

Ted Peck, administrator of the Hawaii State Energy Office said that the cable and the wind projects will reduce Hawaii’s dependence on the volatile global petroleum market and lead to increased energy security.
