Tonight’s Presentation

Reaching 100% Renewable Energy Updates Company Updates

Reaching 100 Percent Renewable Energy for Moloka‘i

August 15, 2017

Reporting back to the community

Hawai‘i has the most ambitious energy goals in the nation

Renewable Energy by 2045 We’re moving forward to help Hawai‘i achieve this historic goal

5 5

We talked about the State’s goal of reaching 100% renewable energy for Hawai‘i by 2045 Over a period of three months we hosted 13 roundtable sessions

• n Moloka‘i

And the potential for Moloka‘i to be first by 2020

6

100% to RPS

• As a small island grid with the highest amount of solar penetration

in the state, we can demonstrate different pilot projects to enable more solar on the island while also leading the state’s 2045 goal

• High interest in renewable energy resources
• Solutions already being looked at and implemented to address

existing system challenges

Why Moloka‘i by 2020?

Battery project on Moloka‘i

7 7

• Meeting Moloka‘i’s Power Needs Today
• Moloka‘i’s Energy Future
• Today’s Renewable Options

We shared Information on …

8 8

And we wanted to know what you thought about that possibility We said that Moloka‘i may be able to reach 100% renewable energy by 2020

9 9

We asked those who attended

• ur roundtable

sessions . . .

From your experiences and perspective

• What would you like us to know?
• What concerns do you have or want us

to know that your community has?

10 10

We met with different groups

And sent an invitation to all of our 3,200 customers to attend any of

• ur three general public sessions across the island

11 11

By 2045 – the year Hawai‘i will be 100% renewable – 28 years would have gone by Today’s teens will be adults A 17-year-old today will be the 45-year-old of 2045 And in 2020, that 17-year-old will be 20-years-old

12 12

So we asked teens for input Moloka‘i High Aka‘ula School Moloka‘i Middle School

13 13

We collected concerns and suggestions

And invited participants to tell us their preferences on the different types of renewable energy options

14 14

We’ve compiled the input received And we’re here tonight to share them with you and what our next steps will be

23

We noted 475 concerns and comments from the roundtable sessions

“Are solar panels recyclable or end up in landfill?” “Burning waste to generate energy can affect people with asthma.” “Reliability is Important.”

“No exporting

• ff island.”

Examples

“Holistic plan needs conservation included.”

24

Financing

• Third-party funding sources
• Grants, tax credits

25

Next steps

• A combined team of Maui Electric and Hawaiian

Electric planning staff are working to incorporate this feedback into options.

• We’ll return to the community with these options to

discuss by early next year.
