Updated Non-Wires Alternative Expression of Interest - Waikoloa
December 23, 2024
Through the Non-Wires Alternative (“NWA”) EOI, Hawaiian Electric is seeking information to determine whether there are cost competitive NWAs to the traditional wires solution on the island of Hawaii, that will provide sufficient load reduction beginning in 2032 to address overloads of existing infrastructure due to the significant load growth in the Waikoloa area on Hawaii Island in the coming years. Developers or aggregators who are capable of developing utility-scale renewable projects or aggregating DER/EE in the Waikoloa area of Hawaii are encouraged to submit comprehensive responses to this request. General performance requirements are provided in the EOI. This is an update to the EOI issued in April 2024 for the Waikoloa area. Since then, the capacity grid need has been revised to reflect new information on service requests in the Waikoloa area.
Interested parties are requested to complete the Property Questionnaire (see Appendix A) and submit the information to Hawaiian Electric by February 7, 2025.

These Long-Term RFPs will be seeking proposals for projects that are estimated to take eight (8) to twelve (12) years to develop due to project technology and/or long-lead infrastructure implementation. The information received via this Long-Term RFI may assist the Companies with establishing the scope and requirements for the Long-Term RFPs including but not limited to identifying and selecting Renewable Energy Zones (“REZ”). As such, developers intending to participate in these Long-Term RFPs are highly encouraged to respond to this Long-Term RFI, as responses may assist with the development of the Long-Term RFPs.
Interested parties are requested to complete the Questionnaire and email the response to Hawaiian Electric (see email address below) by March 20, 2025. Please use the subject heading “RFI for LT Renewable Energy Development - [Developer Name]” in your email.
