Public Policies positively affecting Businesses

More business opportunities created by a policy shift.

Hawaii’s Public Utilities Commission (PUC) created “net metering” to allow clean energy producers to offset their overall energy demand by feeding the excess energy they produce into the grid for credit at the current retail rate towards their monthly utility bill, but never for a profit or cash in hand. Now, thanks to the policy shift, independent renewable energy producers have the chance to sell clean energy to Hawaiian Electric through a “feed-in tariff”.

As “net metering” will continue benefiting smaller energy producers (less than 50KW) because rates continue to increase over time, “feed-in tariff” opens the door in Hawaii for energy investors: business with a low energy demand and a lot of roof space or property owners with open land, like ranchers or farmers.
