In 2007, the government of Hawaii introduced an energy efficiency obligation for all sectors using electricity. Obligated parties include electricity utilities. The obligation seeks to achieve a cumulative electricity savings target of 4 300 GWh by 2030 (equal to approximately 30% of forecast electricity sales, or 1.4% annual savings). Eligible energy efficiency measures include heat pump water heating, ice storage, ratepayer-funded energy efficiency programmes, and use of rejected heat from co-generation and combined heatand power systems. Calculation of savings is based on deemed savings. The evaluation of ratepayer-funded energy efficiency programmes in Hawaii relies on legislative mandates (HRS § 269-124(7)). Evaluations are administered by Hawaii Public Utilities Commission. Hawaii has established formal rules and procedures for evaluation. Statewide evaluations are conducted.

AI Demand, War, and Climate Pressure Push World Back To Nuclear

To solve multiple overlapping crises, we will need multiple overlapping solutions. An all-of-the-above solution to increasing energy security is therefore gaining favor on a global scale as the precariousness of over-reliance on limited energy supply chains becomes dangerously clear. While fossil fuels…

China's Battery Giant Bets Big on Sodium as Lithium Volatility Persists

The world’s largest battery maker is taking a step back from the eclectic vehicles sector to refocus its efforts on energy storage. China’s Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. (better known as CATL) has been building up its energy storage portfolio for years now, but the company’s transition away from EVs and toward energy systems has been supercharged by the artificial intelligence boom. Five years ago, just 2 percent of CATL’S sales came from battery storage. Today, storage accounts for a full quarter of the megacompany’s…
