The Hawaii Public Utilities Commission (PUC) has accepted the Hawaiian Electric Companies' plan charting the near-term actions that will lead to 100 percent of Hawaii's power generation needs coming from renewable resources by 2045. According to Heco, the Power Supply Improvement Plan Update describes the work by Hawaiian Electric, Maui Electric and Hawaii Electric Light that will form the foundation to meet or exceed the state's renewable energy milestones. The plan includes the acquisition of nearly 400 MW of new renewable energy resources by 2021.
Furthermore, the plan includes continued growth of private rooftop solar and describes the work to expand and upgrade grid infrastructure and to use the newest generations of inverters, control systems and energy storage to help reliably integrate an estimated total of 165,000 private systems by 2030, more than twice today's total of 79,000.
The Hawaiian Electric Companies already have the highest percentage of customers using rooftop solar of any utility in the US. The national average is one percent while the percentage in the Hawaiian Electric Companies service territories is 17 percent, according to an announcement.
