A G E N D A
In 2018, the Legislature passed the Hawaii Ratepayer Protection Act, directing the PUC to implement performance-based regulation (PBR), which took effect in 2021 for a five-year term. The PBR framework uses alternative regulatory mechanisms to align utility incentives with performance and policy goals. This briefing will provide an update on the framework and its implications on electrical utilities and rate payers in the future.
