Sir:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 606, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO STANDARDS FOR NET METERED RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS,"
having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.
The purpose of this bill is to lessen Hawaii's future dependence on imported oil and encourage greater use of renewable energy by requiring the Public Utilities Commission to adopt interconnection standards and regulations removing impediments to the installation of customer-sited renewable energy systems with a capacity greater than ten kilowatts.
Your Committee on Conference has amended this bill by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 606, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 606, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
