The feasibility of linking the islands of Maui, Molokai, and Lanai with submarine electrical cables was studied. A summary of the background leading to this study, the reasons for the proposed system, the objectives of this study, the methods used, and the findings obtained to date are outlined. The requirements for linking the islands are discussed. Information regarding the submarine power cables recommended for the proposed installation; possible causes of electrical submarine transmission system failures (electrical faults, physical damage, corrosion of cables); general criteria used for the selection of submarine cable routes; and estimations of cost and time requirements for the proposed installation are covered.
