1. Citron Hydro Power
Clifton M. Hasegawa & Associates, LLC is
devoted to the development of renewable
energy.
Abundant sun and wind and channeled water are
natural resources for the production of
electricity.
CitronSolarFarm was our first operating
division. CitronWind our second.
CitronHydroPower is our operating division
devoted and dedicated to water conservation;
protecting and maintaining the viability and productivity of our aquifers; ground and surface
water resources; keeping our watersheds from being lost to invasive flora and fauna; and to
harness the power of channeled water to provide energy for our Community.
Hawaii has several hydropower plants located on the Islands of Hawaii, Kauai, and Maui. They
have furnished power to sugar mills and the three island utility companies for many years.
The Wailuku River Hydroelectric Power Company plant began producing electricity in May
1993. The plant took five years to complete and $30 million to plan and build and located on
state conservation land about five miles from Hilo. A diversion channel and three miles of five-
foot diameter pipe (penstock) provide rushing water for the plant's two turbines.
Our contribution is through the use and installation of hydroturbines, in existing channels and
penstock. Minimal and nominal impact to our precious and challenged natural environment is
our purpose and mission.
We understand and are sensitive to environmental, community, and cultural concerns.
We strive to advocate and implement knowledge-based, innovative, collaborative solutions and
be a value-added part of our Community.
