Green Bond Framework

Proceeds obtained from our green bonds will help finance renewable energy projects. Learn more about our Green Bond Framework.

Renewable Project Status Board

We are committed to increasing Hawaii's use of clean energy and reducing our dependency on imported oil. This status board tracks the progress of new and upcoming renewable energy projects and the impact that they will have in increasing our overall RPS % points – essentially, the percentage of renewable energy on the grid – to meet our clean energy goals.
