STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1090-16
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2016
RE: S.B. No. 2604
S.D. 1
Honorable Joseph M. Souki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Eighth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2016
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Energy & Environmental Protection, to which was referred S.B. No. 2604, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO A MICROGRID PILOT PROJECT FOR SCHOOLS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee finds that on June 15, 2015, the Department of Education began accepting applications for utility interconnection with five grid-connected microgrid pilot projects on Maui and Hawaii Island, with an eight-week period during which the utility was expected to respond. However, nearly a year later, no interconnection agreement has been approved.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Energy & Environmental Protection that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2604, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to your Committee on Education.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Energy & Environmental Protection,
|
