Committee seeks PUC update on Hawaii Electric Reliability Administrator; cost-reduction analysis also advanced
Summary
Senate resolutions SR96/SR91 asked the Public Utilities Commission for a written status update on the Hawaii Electric Reliability Administrator (HERA); related resolutions (CR172/SR163) asking the PUC to evaluate cost-reduction pathways also advanced with committee amendments and comments from DCCA and the Hawaii State Energy Office.
The committee heard SR96 and SR91 requesting a written status update from the Public Utilities Commission on implementation of the Hawaii Electric Reliability Administrator (HERA). Representatives of the PUC noted they had submitted written comments and appeared to offer technical responses. Separately the committee considered CR172 / SR163, which asks the PUC to conduct a comprehensive analysis of pathways to maximize cost reduction and minimize financial risks to Hawaii residents while meeting state goals.
Mark Glick of the Hawaii State Energy Office and representatives from the Division of Consumer Advocacy (DCCA) appeared with comments and stood on their written testimony. Committee members discussed removing an eighth whereas clause from CR172 / SR163 to address a complaint from the Hawaii Energy Office and ultimately recommended passing the resolutions with amendments consistent with the PUC’s and energy office’s suggested edits.
