• Develop an Approach That Provides:• A comprehensive & aggressive way to address clean energy• A multi-year effort focused on transformational, systemic change• A multi-dimensional, multi-technology approach to energy sources,

generation, and end use• A replicable model capable of implementation at any scale that

leverages public and private partners • An approach that addresses cross-technology linkages, synergies, and

gaps• A process that reduces technology, policy, and market barriers• A way to integrate DOE’s deployment efforts at a specific location

Integrated Deployment was established with a mission to accelerate market adoption of alternative energy solutions to

power our homes, businesses and vehicles through a comprehensive and aggressive approach.

Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative


Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative

RationaleHawaii is, by far, the most petroleum-dependent state in the U.S. Hawaii is burdened with high energy prices that have dramatic and potentiallydevastating impacts on the State’s economyHawaii is blessed with excellent renewable energy resources and climate

ObjectivesThe State of Hawaii and US DOE launched HCEI in January 2008 to help transform Hawaii to a 70% clean energy economy by 2030 and reap economic and environmental benefits:

• Increasing Hawaii’s economic and energy security• Fostering and demonstrating Hawaii’s innovation• Developing Hawaii’s workforce of the future• Becoming the clean energy model for the U.S. and the world

HawaiiThe most petroleum‐dependent state in the US is on track to increase it’s clean energy from 5% to 70% by 2030 and will have the greatest penetration of variable renewables on a grid in the US


HCEI Roadmap

Key Strategic Planning Document

Four Energy Sectors aligned with HCEI Working Groups1. End-Use Efficiency2. Renewable Electricity3. Transportation4. Renewable Fuels

- Overall energy-sector goals- Accomplishments- Strategic Pathways- Interim Targets- Near-term critical actions


HCEI Framework Accomplishments

• Established HCEI Framework of Management Team, Sector Working Groups, and Steering Committee – key forums for providing top-level management, facilitating stakeholder involvement, and long-term leadership

Stakeholder Relations & Ed/Outreach

• Scenario Analysis – analysis of pathways to 70% goal for each of the energy sectors

• Analytical formulations of HCEI Roadmap used by work groups• Foundation of policy leading to legislation and PUC regulation

Macro Analysis

• Energy Framework Agreement between utility/State• 40% RPS and 30% EEPS established by Legislature and PUC• Establishment of Public Benefits Fund Administrator (1.5% Rev)• Decoupling and Feed-in Tariffs and 20 other dockets• Food and Energy Security Act (Act 73) with funds to support HCEI

Key State policies establish long-term

commitment

• Oahu Wind Integration and Transmission Study• Kaupuni Net Zero Energy Community• EV Grid Integration• Hawaii Hydrogen Initiative

Implementation(example projects)


Oahu Wind Integration Study • Technical Review Committee • Wind Integration Study

• Shows how 400 MW of off-island wind energy + 100 MW of on-island wind can be integrated while maintaining island grid reliability.

• Wind + 100 MW of solar PV, will eliminate approximately 2.8 million barrels of low sulfur fuel oil and 132,000 tons of coal each year.

• Wind and solar PV will comprise just over 25% of Oahu’s projected electricity demand

Next up: Hawaii Solar Integration Study

An Aggressive Deployment Approach Can be Taken at various scales

Community/CityNREL is leading DOE support in rebuilding New Orleans and Greensburg, KS in the most energy efficient and renewable way possible

StateNREL is leading DOE efforts in Hawaii and Alaska in their pursuit for efficient and renewable solutions to reduce dependence on fossil fuel

NationNREL is leading DOE efforts in support of the international partnership through Energy Development in Island Nations, providing comprehensive energy solutions to island nations.

Federal siteNREL is leading DOE support to the Department of Defense and National Science Foundation to pursue comprehensive solutions to energy independence on military installations and reduced emissions in our polar regions.


Disaster Recovery Applications:Greensburg Results

• NREL’s work has produced significant results including helping the city establish a Greensburg GreenHome Program, a voluntary building standard that exceeds current building standards by approx. 30% more energy efficiency

• Launched the Greensburg Sustainable Building Database, a portal offering detailed information on 23 different building projects in Greensburg, most pursuing LEED rating (certification up to Platinum)

• Achieved documented excellence in energy efficiency in new homes with rated homes (95 out of 180) achieving an average energy savings of more than 40% above code, achieving better than DOE’s Builder’s Challenge level which requires 30% above code ratings.

• Prairie Pointe Townhomes (32-unit low-income complex) was awarded the first residential LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum rating in Kansas

• Mennonite Housing Rehabilitations Services built 20 affordable, energy-efficient homes and plans to build 30 more using an NREL design.
