1 Energy Sustainability Island of Hawai i West Hawaii Forum September 17, 2015

2 Energy Independence, Hawai`i Style: Clean energy jobs, livability, and the health of our communities. Latest developments on NextEra s $4.3 billion purchase Who will determine Hawaii s energy future: HELCO/NextEra or; Ratepayers and; Emerging clean energy stakeholders Utility/grid independent, examples of clean energy systems Going off grid with solar and other homegrown energy options is a practical and cost effective alternative to HELCO? How individual citizens can have an effective voice in today s decisions now being made that will decide the energy changes ahead for the state and Hawai`i County. How will a statewide 100% renewable energy mandate affect your electricity costs?

3 Hawai i Island 4,028 Square Miles 11 Climate Zones Population 190,000 Peak Electricity 200 MW

8 County of Hawai i Responsibility Engage residents, businesses, and power producers and utilities Advocate on behalf of our island families to reduce energy costs, promote economic development and preserve environments Energy Emergency Preparedness

9 Economics, Effectiveness & Education Technical & Financial Analysis Tools Biofuels Evaluation Framework Power Purchase Agreements Public-Private-Partnerships Return on Investment

10 Sustainable Island of Hawai`i Vision : Energy, Education, Water, Food & Health Nexus Vision from Partners: Model Island of Hawai`i Systems Sustainable Energy Sustainability Education Energy System as Sustainable Island Demonstration for wider applications Partnership Vision: Sector Integration: improved sustainability of water, energy, education, food and health systems Sustainable Water Sustainable Island Sustainable Food Sustainable Energy Sector: Smart Integration of Supply & Demand RE, EE, Flexibility, Modularity Vision from Hawaii: Revive traditional affluent subsistence practices Demonstrate 21 st century technologies Sustainable Health

11 PUC Dockets Intra-Governmental Wheeling Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standards Reliability Standards Working Group Integrated Resource Planning Biodiesel Supply Contract Decoupling Investigation (nearly complete) Power Supply Improvement Plan (not started) NextEra and HEI Merger (in-progress) County Desires New PUC Docket on: Utility of the Future (?) Business Model of the Future (?)

12 Energy Business Models proposed on Island of Hawai`i: Parker Ranch Paniolo Power Hawaii Island Electric Cooperative Hawaii Island Electric Coop: Lower Rates Local Ownership Equity Parker Ranch Paniolo Power: Wind and Pumped-Hydro Lower Rates Economic Development Municipal Government Investor Owned Utility Distributed Generation Businesses Distributed Generation: Disruptive Technologies Grid Defection Independent Power Producers: Renewable Energy at Avoided Cost Prices Desire to Expand Community Groups Local Control Anti-Utility Anti-Geothermal Independent Power Producers Community Groups Municipal Government: Largest Consumer Responsible for Public Health, Safety, Welfare and Economic Development Utility of Last Resort

13 Energy Business Models being considered on other Islands: Maui Electric Coop or Muni Molokai Electric Coop PUC Inclinations: Utility ISO Divest of Generation Assets Competitive Model EE, Demand Response, T&D Distributed Generation: Solar City Customer-side Microgrids PV+Battery+EV Lanai Micro- Grid Utility of the Future Distributed Generation Businesses Island of Maui: Buyout of MECO Cooperative or Muni IDSO Model Franchise Agreement Island of Molokai: Cooperative Model Idea Highest PV Grid Penetration Island of Lanai: Larry Ellison UCSD - Washom 51 st State RFP PUC Inclinations 51 st State RFP: Clean Sheet Business Models
