Ulupono Initiative joins Hawaii Gas in its request for the PUC to force Hawaiian Electric and NextEra to turn over emails about its plans for liquified natural gas.

UPDATED: In a filing with the Public Utilities Commission on Monday, Jeffrey Ono says the proposed $4.3 billion deal offers “illusory and inadequate” benefits.

The fact is, Hawaii has enjoyed phenomenal success with solar power.

Mina Morita is locked in a bitter dispute with companies fighting the possible loss of rooftop solar subsidies. She says HECO risks becoming over-reliant on solar.

Governor says the Florida-based utility has not provided sufficient responses to show why the sale would benefit Hawaii electric customers.

The utility’s latest move to discourage rooftop solar installations jeopardizes families’ ability to claim a federal tax credit.

Years of bickering over a proposed energy park have led to the PUC finally cracking down on HECO and the developers.

Beginning to replace fossil fuels with renewables saved $67 million, or about $150 per household, in 2012 alone.

The Public Utilities Commission is still considering the proposed merger.

Bills signed into law Monday by Gov. Ige and a recent decision by the UH Board of Regents prove the state’s deep commitment to energy sustainability.
