The Hawaii Community Development Authority has joined forces with Kanoa Winds Inc., a clean energy company, to bring innovative wind turbine technology from Japan to Hawaii.
“These compact vertical turbines are successfully used in densely populated areas throughout Japan,” said Craig Nakamoto, HCDA Executive Director. Furthermore, VCCTs are small and vertical, making them appropriate for highly crowded locations. They are also quieter during operations. “The VCCT wind turbines in Japan have been known to have birds nesting within the device, proving the safety and coexistence between the birds and the VCCT technology,” said Kaname Takeya, Kanoa Winds Founder and CEO.
