The purpose of this briefing to hear from Hawaii Energy about their programs and progress on energy efficiency measures in the state to achieve the Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard of 4,300 GWH by 2030. Hawaii Energy is the program under contract with the PUC to promote and incentivize energy efficiency measures in all counties except for Kauai. They are funded by ratepayers through a fee on electric utility bills – the public benefits fee. Their services include consumer education and technical assistance, administering rebate programs, and working with residents, businesses and state agencies to reduce energy use.
The Hawaii Energy director and staff will update legislators on their programs and services, what progress has been made since the implementation of the public benefits fee to increase efficiency in the state, what the next steps are for energy efficiency, and how efficiency can help Hawaii to meet its clean energy goals.
No public testimony will be accepted.
