“This conversation is for anyone who has ever wondered what happens behind the light switch, where you get your power from, and why we’re moving toward more renewable energy to generate electricity for our residents, communities and businesses,” Mauri said. “We want to help answer any questions folks have and talk story about this major transition to get off fossil fuels and decarbonize energy production on Maui.”

Hawaiian Electric is working to increase the use of clean energy on the five islands it serves and achieve 100% of electricity sales coming from renewable energy by 2045. The state milestone of reaching 30% in 2020 was exceeded with Maui County recording a renewable portfolio standard of 50.8%.
