Maui Windmills

Electricity Generation by Wind Power on Maui


Windmills on top of the West Maui Mountains


Since 2006, twenty windmills operated by First Wind have been generating about 9% of Maui's electric power.  The windmills are located on a ridge on the West Maui Mountains, overlooking Maalaea.  Additional windmills are planned nearby.

You can glimpse the tops of the windmills as you drive toward Maalaea on the road around the south side of West Maui.  But the best view of the windmills is from the beaches on Kihei, or from the Boardwalk in Maalaea.  You can also see them with binoculars from Upcountry, on the slopes of Haleakala.

Close-up video of Maui's windmills is below.
