Oil

is the most oil-dependent state in the countryHawaii


90%of its energy from

Hawaii gets

imported oil

Solar Energy


Hawaii ranks

THIRDin per-capita photovoltaic generation


60 Megawattsof power is available from photovoltaic solar energy on military bases in Hawaii


of power is available from solar photovoltaic panels installed on commercial roofs in Honolulu

BIG MART

16 Megawatts


Hawaii leads the nation in solar water heating with

80,000 Installed systems


All new homes in Hawaii are now required to have SOLAR THERMAL PANELS installed


Wind Energy


Power currently generated by wind on Maui30 Megawatts:


9%Supplying

of Maui’s power


Saving 600 barrels of oil every day!


Additional power from new wind projects on Maui by 2012

22 Megawatts:


400 Megawatts:Energy from two proposed wind farms on Molokai and Lanai

That’s 25% of Oahu’s capacity!


30 Megawatts:Energy from proposed wind farm in Kahuku on Oahu

Supplying electricity to 7,700 homes!


Estimated wind energy available in all of Hawaii1000 Megawatts:

That’s about HALF of what oil provides right

now


Ocean EnergyWave & tidal Power

ocean thermal energy conversion


Hawaii’s powerful waves are renowned worldwide and offer abundant energy potential

Ocean Energy

Floating Platform

1. Wave motion compresses air

2. that turns a turbine

3. which generates electricity

How it Works:


Ocean Energy

4. An undersea cable carries electricity to shore

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY


Geothermal power currently generated by Ormat on the Big Island

30 Megawatts:


The power grids for each island are currently separate and disconnected

BUT!


Undersea cables are needed to connect the islands’ grids


Solar OceanWind

are only part of the solution

40% of Hawaii’s energyis used to power buildings


Using energy more efficiently, switching to CFLs and energy efficient appliances can make an impact


60% of our energy is used for transportation


Conserving on the road


Hawaii is partnering with Better Place to put

3,000 electric cars on Hawaii’s roads by 2010

and 50,000 by 2015


There are incentives to conserving and becoming more energy efficient


are available for installing solar energy systems

Tax CreditsGenerous state and federal


Renewable energy feed-in tariffWould allow homeowners and businesses to sell power they generate to Hawaii’s utilities at higher than market rates

Power Out

$ In


Becoming more efficient and generating our own energy has its challenges

EnergyIndependence


But consider the benefits...

Energy independence

It’s up to us.

Our $ stay in state

Hawaii becomes a leader in clean energy - therein creating new markets and opportunities
