Description

Description

Hawaii has set a goal to achieve 100% renewable energy by 2045. However, multiple layers of regulation have caused at least 15 renewable energy projects to be canceled over the past five years, hindering progress. The state is also expected to retire many existing power generators due to age and lack of replacement parts, making it unlikely to meet energy goals. Regulatory challenges include state land use, environmental reviews, permits, community and island plans, county zoning, public utilities commission, federal legal hurdles, and opposition from local groups.
