Solar PV, DER integration Hawaii faces problems like EDF France

Hawaii goal: 40% Clean energy by 2030

• Hawaiian Utility Fights Solar Industry

Over Private Solar Installations

In 2009, state lawmakers established a renewable portfolio standard requiring 40 percent of the Hawaii’s electricity to come from renewables by 2030

Driving renewable development in the state, where the cost for grid power is more than twice the national average, is a clean energy mandate that is among the most aggressive in the country.

Hawaii stops Proposed Ban on Solar Energy

The decision came despite requests from

Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO)

to postpone the program over concerns that

added distributed generation resources

could destabilize the islands’ power grids.

Utility Could Still Curtail Program

Under the new program, utilities have the option to curtail or halt the power production of renewable projects and impose unspecified grid-connection costs.

Old Central Grid or

modern DER Load controlled Solar Smart Grid

The islands’ electrical systems were designed for

central station power.

Power grids on the mainland rely on interconnections to ensure a stable power supply. But the Hawaiian islands’ isolated electric grids are more challenging to keep stable, and are more vulnerable to power fluctuations associated with intermittent resources, such as solar, HECO spokesman Peter Rosegg said.

So the utility is also looking to “firm” renewable resources such as biomass gasification plants and geothermal power.

Hawaii and EDF France why resistant
