DESCRIPTION Four 300 kw generators which were formerly on Johnston Island,
were installed on Akau Island (completed in 1964). The generators were used to
provide PMR facilities with power until the inter-island submarine power cable
was in operation. The generators were tied into the existing Akau Island distribution system to provide all Akau Island demands plus 100 percent backup (800
kw demand). <A concrete pad supported the generators and a wooden shelter was
erected over the units. This generator building is noted on the Akau Island Plot
Plan as Building 1003.
The installation of a permanent inter-island power distribution system (F&S
0304C) negated the need for the above four generators as a source of primary
power.
