Energy Efficiency Programs

On July 1, 2009, the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission transferred responsibility for the energy efficiency programs formerly run by the Hawaiian Electric Utilities to a new energy efficiency program administrator.

As the new Public Benefits Fee Administrator, Hawaii Energy will run the following programs:

Energy$olutions_SM for the Home
• Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFLs) Specialty bulb coupons (Oahu & Maui County only)
• ENERGY STAR® appliance rebates (Oahu only).
• Solar Water Heating rebates
• High-efficiency water heater rebates

Energy$olutions_SM for Business
• Standard and Custom Rebates for qualified energy-efficient technologies
o Existing Facilities
o New Construction

Hawaiian Electric will continue to operate the EnergyScout™ program, which can save residential customers $3 a month on their electric bills. We will also continue offering our EnergyScout™ for Business program.

Hawaiian Electric and Hawaii Energy are working together for a smooth transition of the efficiency programs. As of July 1, Hawaii Energy will accept and process both Hawaii Energy and HECO rebate applications.

All of us at the Hawaiian Electric companies thank our customers and participating contractors for helping make our energy efficiency programs so successful for 13 years (1996-2009).

Energy efficiency is essential to reducing Hawaii’s dependence on imported oil and cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

Over 13 years, working together, we have:
•	Installed more than 1.8 million CFLs, more than 50,000 solar water heating systems, and more than 39,000 Energy Star appliances;
•	Reduced electricity demand by 169 megawatts, equal to the output of a large power plant;
•	Paid $97 million in rebates and other incentives and saved customers more than $640 million over the life of their energy efficiency equipment;
•	Avoided burning an average 1.6 million barrels of oil a year;
•	Reduced emission of carbon dioxide (a major cause of global climate change) by 864,000 tons a year.
