Recent orders show how Hawaii PUC’s frustration with Hawaiian Electric's halting progress on clean energy is accompanied by an increasingly weak hand.

The Department of Energy announced that it will work with 11 remote and island communities to strengthen energy infrastructure and reduce outage risks.

State utility regulators once again question the feasibility of a Hawaiian Electric Co. plan to shut down a vital coal plant.

A solar plus pumped hydro storage project proposed by the Kauai Island Utility Cooperative could produce a quarter of the island’s energy requirements.

HECO says a proposed massive energy storage facility on Oahu will help fill the capacity gap left by the closure of a 180-MW AES coal-fired plant.

The shutdown of the AES Hawaii Power Plant in 2022 could leave Oahu's energy grid with a 180-MW generation deficit.
