In 1987 the Kamaoa Wind Farm began operation with thirty-seven Mitsubishi 250 kW wind turbines with an operationally typical total peak output of 7.5 MW.[22] By 2006 the turbines at 18°59′33″N 155°40′5″W﻿ / ﻿18.99250°N 155.66806°W﻿ / 18.99250; -155.66806﻿ (Kamaoa Wind Farm) were falling into disrepair, and they were finally shut down on August 15, 2006. At the end of August 2006, components for a new set of wind turbines were transported to South Point. The Pakini Nui project consists of 14 General Electric wind turbines constructed at 18°58′20″N 155°41′21″W﻿ / ﻿18.97222°N 155.68917°W﻿ / 18.97222; -155.68917﻿ (Pakini Nui Wind Farm), about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from the old Kamaoa wind farm.
