Advanced Rate Design Strategy (ARDS)
A Modern Rate Design for a Modern Grid
As we move toward a 100% renewable energy future for Hawaii, the way we operate – from the meters to the grid – must evolve. As well as modernizing our infrastructure and equipment, our rate designs must also evolve in a way that supports and encourages more renewable energy while also being fair and responsive to customers.
We must develop advanced rate options that will reward customers for efficient use of electricity and provide price signals that can guide customers where to direct energy efficiency and conservation efforts and/or invest in distributed energy resources. Our Advanced Rate Design Strategy (ARDS) will focus on pricing and programs that enable customers to better manage their electricity usage.
