IGP RFP Questions & Answers
Hawaiian Electric (sometimes also referred to as the "Company") provides the answers below, based on the best information available at the time an answer is posted, which may not reflect the scope and requirements of the final RFP. Prospective Proposers should review this Q&A page periodically to check for updates, additions, clarifications and/or corrections to any of Company's prior responses. Each Proposer is solely responsible for reviewing the final RFP (including all attachments and links) and all responses on this Q&A page. Each Proposer is also solely responsible for thoroughly investigating and informing itself with respect to all matters pertinent to the RFP, the Proposer's Proposal, and the Proposer's anticipated performance under the applicable power purchase agreement. It is the Proposer's responsibility to ensure it understands all requirements of the RFP and to seek clarification if the RFP's requirements or the Company's requests or responses are not clear. Accordingly, a potential Proposer may not rely upon a prior response that may be clarified or corrected in a subsequent response. Efforts will be made by the Company to highlight subsequent clarifications and corrections to prior responses, but potential Proposers are ultimately responsible for monitoring this Q&A page and to inquire with the Company regarding any perceived inconsistencies or contradictory information. Finally, a Proposer's submission of information to the Company will not be independently confirmed by the Company. All Proposers must separately request confirmation of receipt of submitted information if desired by any Proposer.

A1:

- A qualified consultant on retainer

Q2:
[Posted 11/01/24] In the August 26, 2024 draft filing of the IGP RFP, the Koolau-Wailupe 1 & 2 46 kV subtransmission lines in East Oahu are identified on Table 1 Pre-Screened List of Interconnection Locations. If a project is sited in East Oahu, is there still a strong preference to propose an interconnection to either of those lines?
A2:
No, based on the Company's re-evaluation of the ability of these lines to host generation, these lines will be removed from Table 1 in the next filing of the IGP RFP, and will not be offered as a pre-screened interconnection location preferred by the Company.
