Choose which programs best fit your lifestyle.
Shift and Save Program
Take control of your energy bill with the Shift and Save Program. By switching energy use to the Daytime, you take advantage of abundant solar energy in the grid. And enjoy a rate that’s 3 times lower than the Evening Peak rate, 7 days a week. The Overnight rate compares to your current rate. You’ll save money and help reduce carbon emissions.
The 1-year pilot program for Shift and Save began Feb. 1, 2024.
Smart Renewable Energy Programs
Earn bill credits for energy you export to the electric grid with the new Smart DER Export and Bring Your Own Device programs for rooftop solar. These programs are especially helpful in providing renewable energy to the electric grid throughout the day. You can choose to participate in the Smart DER Non-Export program if you are not interested in exporting energy to the electric grid.
The Smart DER tariff will begin April 1, 2024. The current Customer Grid-Supply (CGS), CGS Plus, Smart Export, Customer Self-Supply, and SIA tariff will be closed to new customers on March 29, 2024.
Battery Program
Receive a one-time cash incentive and bill credits for adding battery energy storage to an existing or new rooftop solar system. This program is especially helpful in providing stored renewable energy to the grid during the Evening Peak from 5 p.m. – 9 p.m.
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is a successor program to Battery Bonus and is available to Hawaiian Electric customers April 1, 2024.
Battery Bonus is closed on Oahu. It will continue to be available to customers on Maui until June 30, 2024, or a cap of 15 MW is reached, whichever comes first.
Electric Vehicle Charging
When and where do you charge your EV? As more EVs hit the road, they must be supported by more charging stations in the right locations. In the long run, this will help us reduce carbon emissions and meet our renewable energy goals. Where would you like to see a new EV fast charging station?
