Hawaii’s Energy Policy • Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative • Clean Energy Vision • Energy Policy Directives
Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative 30% reduction 15,000 4300 GWh Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard 10,000 ≈ 4000 GWh Total Gigawatt-hours per year 40% clean generation* 5000 Renewable Portfolio Standard Enacted in 2008, the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative (HCEI) is leading the way in relieving our dependence on oil by setting goals and a roadmap to achieve 70% clean energy by 2030 2008 2020 2030 * 40% calculated on remaining demand
State’s Clean Energy Vision Renewable Future Going beyond HCEI Integrated Modern Grid Interconnected smart grid infrastructure connecting our islands Transitional Alternate Fuels Alternate fuels as a bridge to renewables and sustainable transportation
Five Pillars of Hawaii State Energy Policy Directives • Diversify our energy portfolio: geothermal, solar, wind, hydro, bioenergy and biomass • Connect, integrate and modernize our island grids • Balance technical, economic, environmental and cultural considerations • Leverage our position as a test bed to launch energy innovations • Allow the market to pick winners
Clean Energy Future Nothing can stop us except ourselves
