HONOLULU (AP) _ A proposed wind farm on Lanai could provide between 15 percent and 20 percent of Oahu's electricity.

Electrical power generated by winds blowing across Lanai would be transmitted to Oahu via undersea cable.

Castle and Cooke has also announced plans for a solar photovoltaic farm on Lanai. It would supply 30 percent of the island's electricity.
