Update on RPS Compliance (Energy 808: The Cutting Edge)
How well Hawaiian Electric is Doing. The host for this episode is Jay Fidell. The guest for this episode is Peter Rosegg.
Peter Rosegg, Senior Communications Consultant for Hawaiian Electric Company, will help us understand its 2020 RPS (Renewable Portfolio Standard) numbers – the renewable energy used by customers as a percentage of total utility sales, which are pretty good: Oahu 31%; BI 43%; Maui 51% (first time over half). 35% consolidated, against a 30% goal.
We will talk about the $2 million donation Hawaiian Electric made to needy customers through AUW. We will also talk about payment plans and what will happen when the moratorium on disconnections ends. Also, the efforts of Hawaiian Electric to increase access to rooftop solar with a program called Quick Connect.
