Integrated Grid Planning
An energy planning process to identify the best options for customers to move Hawaii toward a clean energy future.
Planning Hawaii’s Grid for Future Generations
With a renewed focus on comprehensive energy planning, Hawaiian Electric proposed an Integrated Grid Planning ("IGP") process that we believe will benefit customers by identifying the best options to affordably move Hawaii toward a reliable, resilient clean energy future with minimal risk.
In addition, we believe the State will benefit from expanded market opportunities for resource, grid services, and non-wires alternatives for transmission and distribution ("T&D"), which can foster innovative solutions for a new energy economy.

Grid-Scale Renewables
Existing and planned generating facilities in our service area and the maximum potential power in megawatts (MW) they can produce.
Hawaiian Electric Projects
High-level snapshots of various grid-scale renewable projects around the islands are shown below. To see the current progress of each of our grid-scale renewable projects, visit our Clean Energy Portfolio.

Project Selection Process
We have a process for selecting, evaluating, and contracting new renewable projects. Several parts of the process include opportunities for public engagement and input.

Rooftop Renewable Energy
For residential and small business customers who want to reduce their bills by installing solar systems that meet specific program requirements.
Rooftop Solar Options
These programs are the available options for new solar customers to install PV panels on their rooftops.

Installation Opportunities
Many customers have rooftop solar system on homes and businesses. And there are still opportunities to install rooftop solar on your residence or business to save money and help Hawaii reach a clean energy future.

Community-Based Renewable Energy
Community-Based Renewable Energy (CBRE), or community-solar, provides a way for participating subscribers without privately-owned rooftop solar to benefit from electricity generated by a renewable energy facility located in their community.
The Next Phase: ‘Solar without a Roof’
Community solar is a hybrid: owned or leased by customers who don’t or can’t have solar, often because they are renters or live in apartment buildings, but sized and sited like a grid-scale solar facility.

Electrification of Transportation
Electrification of Transportation (EoT) plays a key role in allowing us to integrate more renewable energy generation.
