STATE OF HAWAII SIGNS AGREEMENT WITH HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY (HECO) October 20, 2008 - Governor Linda Lingle announced a comprehensive agreement to decisively move the state away from its dependence on fossil fuels for electricity and ground transportation.
The historic accord – agreed to between the Lingle-Aiona Administration, including the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism and the State Consumer Advocate, and the Hawaiian Electric companies – is an achievement stemming from months of discussions and work on the Hawai‘i Clean Energy Initiative. This effort, which began in January between the state and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), seeks to move Hawaii toward having 70 percent of its energy use come from clean energy sources by 2030.
