Selling Power to the Utility
Request for Information for Long-Term Renewable Energy Development
September 6, 2022
On July 5, 2022, Hawaiian Electric issued a Request for Information for Long-Term Renewable Energy Development (“RFI”) to explore opportunities available and the current state of technology for projects that require a longer development timeframe than the Companies’ current Request for Proposal timelines allow, due to the type of technology, transmission, project permitting, or land use constraints. Responses to the RFI will assist the Companies in determining the state of advancement and development of long-term projects to incorporate any needed modification to the Companies’ procurements to account for the unique aspect of longer development times in future resource procurements.
The Companies are extending the period of time for stakeholders to submit responses to the RFI in hopes of receiving a wide array of responses to discuss during a working group meeting that will be scheduled in late September. Interested parties are requested to compete the Questionnaire (see Appendix A to the RFI) and submit the information to Hawaiian Electric as stated below by September 6, 2022.
