(NYSE: PARR) (\u201cPar Pacific\u201d<\/strong> or the <strong>\u201cCompany\u201d)<\/strong> today announced that its 30 Megawatt renewable cogeneration development project was selected as a finalist by Hawaiian Electric in connection with a January 2023 request for proposals for firm, renewable-fired electricity generation. The project will be constructed at the Company\u2019s Kapolei refinery and take advantage of existing infrastructure. It will also provide a local outlet for a portion of the renewable liquid fuels produced by the previously announced renewable hydrotreater conversion project. The quick-start cogeneration facility is expected to begin commercial operations by 2028, supporting the state\u2019s renewable energy objectives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to advance our renewable initiatives in support of Hawaii\u2019s decarbonization goals,\u201d said Will Monteleone, President of Par Pacific. \u201cThe cogeneration project aligns with our renewables strategy of investing in our people and assets to meet the evolving energy needs of our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The project plans to utilize the latest generation, high-efficiency equipment to flexibly produce renewable power. At full capacity, the facility will be capable of generating enough power to supply 30,000 homes.\u00a0\u00a0 Final terms and conditions of the potential investment and offtake agreement with Hawaiian Electric are expected to be negotiated during 2024. The project will remain subject to customary regulatory and government approvals, including approval by the Hawaii Public Utility Commission (PUC).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA reliable, affordable, and low-carbon source of energy is important to all of us in Hawaii,\u201d said Eric Wright, President of Par Hawaii. \u201cPar Hawaii is proud to be partnering with Hawaiian Electric to generate electricity from low-carbon, renewable sources.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In April, Par Pacific announced a $90 million investment to develop the state\u2019s largest liquid renewable fuels manufacturing facility. The project, which is expected to be commissioned in 2025, will produce approximately 61 million gallons per year of sustainable aviation fuel, renewable diesel, renewable naphtha, and renewable liquified petroleum gases. Renewable fuels provide a low-carbon alternative to fossil fuels and are considered a \u201cdrop-in\u201d replacement for conventional diesel, jet fuel, and other fuels used to generate electricity.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Par Pacific<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Par Pacific Holdings, Inc.
