The purpose of this informational briefing is to inform the public and the Committees on the University of Hawaii's and the Hawaii Department of Education's progress toward their individual net-zero energy goals. Both the Department of Education and University of Hawaii have statutory goals to become net-zero by 2035. Act 99, Session Laws of Hawaii 2015, established a collective goal for the University of Hawaii to become net-zero with respect to energy use, producing as much (renewable) energy as the system consumes across all campuses by January 1, 2035. Act 176, Session Laws of Hawaii 2016, established a similar goal for the Hawaii Department of Education to become net-zero with respect to energy use, producing as much renewable energy as the department consumes across all public school facilities, by January 1, 2035.
