Hydroenergy Potential in Hawaii

Low/head/low power water energy sites in Hawaii

The percentage of total power potential for the United States as a whole is just slightly less than 60%. The total annual mean power density for the United States is slightly more than 80 kW/sq mi, which corresponds to an average energy density of approximately 2,000 kWh/sq mi/day.

Renewable Potential Maps (EIA)

Renewable Potential Maps present an integrated picture of renewable energy resources in each U.S. Census Division. Solar, geothermal, and wind energy potentials and indicators of hydroelectric and biomass energy potentials (fuelwood harvested, rivers, and precipitation) are presented.

The Renewable Potential Map series includes maps of each of the nine U.S. Census Divisions and individual State maps of Alaska, California, and Hawaii.
