Consolidated Water pushes Kalaeloa construction start to first half of 2027
Consolidated Water said permitting delays have moved expected construction start for its Kalaeloa desalination project in Oahu, Hawaii, to the first half of 2027 from late 2026. The company received two approvals but several permits remain outstanding, and the Honolulu Board of Water Supply granted schedule extensions, which shareholders may watch for further timing changes.
Key points
- Expected construction start moved to first half of 2027, compared with the previous expectation of late 2026.
- Approvals received from the State Historic Preservation Division and the Hawaii Department of Health; a Memorandum of Agreement from the State Historic Preservation Division is still outstanding.
- In July 2026, the Honolulu Board of Water Supply issued a limited notice to proceed authorizing approximately $6 million for long-lead equipment procurement.
- Facility is designed to produce 1.7 million gallons of potable water per day, with a contracted 20-year operating and maintenance term after commissioning.
