Hawaii is the most fossil fuel dependent state in the nation. The

fi nite nature of fossil fuels and the fact that Hawaii is extremely

vulnerable to fl uctuations in oil prices and availability, have, in turn,

inspired us to create one of the nation’s most aggressive clean

energy goals. When we achieve our target of 70% clean energy by

2030, we will have established an enviable global standard.

The world has already discovered that Hawaii is the ideal laboratory

for the development of environmentally friendly technologies.

Moving forward, it should be a priority for businesses and developers

to expand their efforts to explore our islands for clean energy

investment opportunities. All of us at the Hawaii State Energy Offi ce

hope this brochure inspires you to do just that and we also invite

you to visit energy.hawaii.gov for a more comprehensive look at

Hawaii’s clean energy future.

Hawaii has already taken important steps to build energy effi ciency, increase photovoltaic capacity, and create green jobs. In these and other clean energy-related categories, we consistently place among America’s top fi ve states.

Clean, year-round, renewable energy will empower Hawaii’s economy because the land, the sea, the wind, and the sun are rich, world-class resources capable of providing Hawaii with limitless amounts of indigenous fuel.

The Hawaii State Energy Offi ce’s overall strategy for energy independence is to focus on the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative’s (HCEI) community-based efforts to create high-impact, clean energy solutions that encourage innovative, economic development. This will be accomplished, in part, by leveraging resources and partnerships with business, government, and the public at large. Visit energy.hawaii.govfor more information.

Energy effi ciency measures will account for 30% of Hawaii’s 70% clean energy objective. To reach this goal, the state supports retro-fi tting residential and commercial buildings, strengthening new construction policies and building codes, and identifying non-building-related energy effi ciency measures.

To inspire Hawaii residents and local businesses to embrace energy effi ciency and conservation, the state employs the Lead By Example (LBE) initiative, designed to make government buildings, fl eets, and personnel practices models of environmental responsibility. State agencies and other organizations have allocated federal funds to underwrite rebate programs and fi nancial incentives such as the Loan Loss Reserve program and tax credits. Visit energy.hawaii.gov for more information.

PUNA GEOTHERMAL VENTUREPuna Geothermal Venture, an Ormat Technologies, Inc. company, is Hawaii’s only commercial, base-load, indigenous power source and is the state’s only producer of geothermal energy. Geothermal energy has the potential to replace fossil fuel-powered plants because, unlike solar and wind power, geothermal is a “fi rm” resource—it’s always there. The 30-megawatt power plant has been operating for 18 years and generates nearly 20% of the electricity used on Hawaii’s Big Island.

For more information on renewable energy projects, visit energy.hawaii.gov.

PACIFIC BIODIESELIn 1996 at the Central Maui Landfi ll, Pacifi c Biodiesel opened its fi rst refi nery, the longest, continuously operated commercial biodiesel production plant in America. The community-based production model, pioneered by Pacifi c Biodiesel, utilizes locally available feedstock and produces and distributes the fuel within the community. Pacifi c Biodiesel has designed and built 12 biodiesel plants in the U.S. and Japan and continues to advance its technology for super-effi cient, multi-feedstock, zero-waste biofuel processing.

KAHUKU WINDMarch 23, 2011 marked the fi rst day of commercial operations of the Kahuku Wind project on Oahu’s North Shore. The 30-megawatt wind project includes twelve 2.5-megawatt wind turbines and an innovative battery storage system with the capacity to generate enough renewable energy to power up to 7,700 Oahu homes.

The Kahuku Wind project will harness this local energy source while preserving the environment for future generations.

MAUI SMART GRID PROJECTEnergy partners from Japan and the U.S. are collaborating on a Smart Grid Demonstration Project on the island of Maui. The project is designed to showcase the integration of renewable energy resources, such as solar and wind power, with the electric system in preparation for the adoption of electric vehicles. The relatively small size and high renewable energy integration of the Maui system make it an ideal site to demonstrate smart grid technologies.

KAUAI HYDROPOWER PROJECTSHydropower has been a part of Kauai’s electricity sources for more than 100 years. Today, the Kauai Island Utility Cooperative (KIUC) draws power from eight hydro facilities across the island. KIUC considers creating new hydroelectric power a legacy project and while new hydro is capital intensive, it is the lowest cost of power –25% cheaper than solar/PV and about 30% cheaper than the cost of fossil fuel generated today.

LA OLA – LANAI’S SOLAR FARMCovering 10+ acres and consisting of 7,400 solar panels, La Ola provides 1.2-megawatts (AC) of clean energy, which equates to 30% of Lanai’s daily peak electricity demand and 10% of Lanai’s annual electricity needs.

In 2010, La Ola incorporated a customized utility-grade energy storage system to ensure the seamless delivery of electricity.

La Ola is the result of a commitment to Lanai by Castle & Cooke to move towards energy independence.

Reducing the use of petroleum fuel for ground transportation plays an important role in achieving Hawaii’s clean energy goals. The state’s transportation strategies rely heavily on infl uencing consumer behavior and include accelerating the deployment of electric vehicles and supporting infrastructure.

On March 18, 2011 the state awarded $2.6 million in federal stimulus funds to six organizations that will accelerate Hawaii’s adoption of electric vehicles and related charging equipment. Grants will contribute to the state’s energy goals by reducing consumption of imported petroleum fuels for ground transportation.

Clean energy will do more than simply improve the environment. It will also supercharge Hawaii’s economy by attracting green business and creating a workforce for the future. It will further serve to highlight Hawaii’s gift for innovation and allow the state to serve as a clean energy model for the U.S. and for the world. As the graph below indicates, 66 renewable energy projects are currently in progress and more are in development.

To achieve 70% clean energy by 2030, 40% of Hawaii’s energy must be generated from renewable resources including solar, wind, geothermal, hydropower, and bio-fuels. Thus far, the state has made great strides in increasing the amount of locally produced renewable energy.

Hawaii has already made great progress in aligning regulatory policies with clean energy goals; encouraging development of next generation, clean energy technologies; and deploying renewable generation and grid infrastructure. Needless to say, it is our mission to do more in each of these areas and beyond.

To reach this goal, the state supports retro-fi tting residential and commercial buildings, strengthening new construction policies and building codes, and identifying non-building-related energy effi ciency measures.

To inspire Hawaii residents and local businesses to embrace energy effi ciency and conservation, the state employs the Lead By Example (LBE) initiative, designed to make government buildings, fl eets, and personnel practices models of environmental responsibility. State agencies and other organizations have allocated federal funds to underwrite rebate programs and fi nancial incentives such as the Loan Loss Reserve program and tax credits. Visit energy.hawaii.gov for more information.

PUNA GEOTHERMAL VENTUREPuna Geothermal Venture, an Ormat Technologies, Inc. company, is Hawaii’s only commercial, base-load, indigenous power source and is the state’s only producer of geothermal energy. Geothermal energy has the potential to replace fossil fuel-powered plants because, unlike solar and wind power, geothermal is a “fi rm” resource—it’s always there. The 30-megawatt power plant has been operating for 18 years and generates nearly 20% of the electricity used on Hawaii’s Big Island.

PACIFIC BIODIESELIn 1996 at the Central Maui Landfi ll, Pacifi c Biodiesel opened its fi rst refi nery, the longest, continuously operated commercial biodiesel production plant in America. The community-based production model, pioneered by Pacifi c Biodiesel, utilizes locally available feedstock and produces and distributes the fuel within the community. Pacifi c Biodiesel has designed and built 12 biodiesel plants in the U.S. and Japan and continues to advance its technology for super-effi cient, multi-feedstock, zero-waste biofuel processing.

KAHUKU WINDMarch 23, 2011 marked the fi rst day of commercial operations of the Kahuku Wind project on Oahu’s North Shore. The 30-megawatt wind project includes twelve 2.5-megawatt wind turbines and an innovative battery storage system with the capacity to generate enough renewable energy to power up to 7,700 Oahu homes.

The Kahuku Wind project will harness this local energy source while preserving the environment for future generations.

MAUI SMART GRID PROJECTEnergy partners from Japan and the U.S. are collaborating on a Smart Grid Demonstration Project on the island of Maui. The project is designed to showcase the integration of renewable energy resources, such as solar and wind power, with the electric system in preparation for the adoption of electric vehicles. The relatively small size and high renewable energy integration of the Maui system make it an ideal site to demonstrate smart grid technologies.

KAUAI HYDROPOWER PROJECTSHydropower has been a part of Kauai’s electricity sources for more than 100 years. Today, the Kauai Island Utility Cooperative (KIUC) draws power from eight hydro facilities across the island. KIUC considers creating new hydroelectric power a legacy project and while new hydro is capital intensive, it is the lowest cost of power –25% cheaper than solar/PV and about 30% cheaper than the cost of fossil fuel generated today.

LA OLA – LANAI’S SOLAR FARMCovering 10+ acres and consisting of 7,400 solar panels, La Ola provides 1.2-megawatts (AC) of clean energy, which equates to 30% of Lanai’s daily peak electricity demand and 10% of Lanai’s annual electricity needs.

In 2010, La Ola incorporated a customized utility-grade energy storage system to ensure the seamless delivery of electricity.

La Ola is the result of a commitment to Lanai by Castle & Cooke to move towards energy independence.

Reducing the use of petroleum fuel for ground transportation plays an important role in achieving Hawaii’s clean energy goals. The state’s transportation strategies rely heavily on infl uencing consumer behavior and include accelerating the deployment of electric vehicles and supporting infrastructure.

On March 18, 2011 the state awarded $2.6 million in federal stimulus funds to six organizations that will accelerate Hawaii’s adoption of electric vehicles and related charging equipment. Grants will contribute to the state’s energy goals by reducing consumption of imported petroleum fuels for ground transportation.

Clean energy will do more than simply improve the environment. It will also supercharge Hawaii’s economy by attracting green business and creating a workforce for the future. It will further serve to highlight Hawaii’s gift for innovation and allow the state to serve as a clean energy model for the U.S. and for the world. As the graph below indicates, 66 renewable energy projects are currently in progress and more are in development.

To achieve 70% clean energy by 2030, 40% of Hawaii’s energy must be generated from renewable resources including solar, wind, geothermal, hydropower, and bio-fuels. Thus far, the state has made great strides in increasing the amount of locally produced renewable energy.

Hawaii has already made great progress in aligning regulatory policies with clean energy goals; encouraging development of next generation, clean energy technologies; and deploying renewable generation and grid infrastructure. Needless to say, it is our mission to do more in each of these areas and beyond.

Hawaii is the most fossil fuel dependent state in the nation. The

fi nite nature of fossil fuels and the fact that Hawaii is extremely

vulnerable to fl uctuations in oil prices and availability, have, in turn,

inspired us to create one of the nation’s most aggressive clean

energy goals. When we achieve our target of 70% clean energy by

2030, we will have established an enviable global standard.

The world has already discovered that Hawaii is the ideal laboratory

for the development of environmentally friendly technologies.

Moving forward, it should be a priority for businesses and developers

to expand their efforts to explore our islands for clean energy

investment opportunities. All of us at the Hawaii State Energy Offi ce

hope this brochure inspires you to do just that and we also invite

you to visit energy.hawaii.gov for a more comprehensive look at

Hawaii’s clean energy future.

Aloha,

Richard C. Lim, Director

State of Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism

Hawaii has already taken important steps to build energy effi ciency, increase photovoltaic capacity, and create green jobs. In these and other clean energy-related categories, we consistently place among America’s top fi ve states.

Clean, year-round, renewable energy will empower Hawaii’s economy because the land, the sea, the wind, and the sun are rich, world-class resources capable of providing Hawaii with limitless amounts of indigenous fuel.

The Hawaii State Energy Offi ce’s overall strategy for energy independence is to focus on the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative’s (HCEI) community-based efforts to create high-impact, clean energy solutions that encourage innovative, economic development. This will be accomplished, in part, by leveraging resources and partnerships with business, government, and the public at large. Visit energy.hawaii.govfor more information.
