Choose which programs best fit your lifestyle.
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 Plus 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 began on April 1, 2024. The current Customer Grid-Supply (CGS), CGS Plus, Smart Export, Customer Self-Supply, and SIA tariff are closed to new customers as of 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 Plus (BYOD Plus) customers will export using the retail rate of the customer’s current billing rate.
BYOD Plus is a successor program to Battery Bonus and became available to Hawaiian Electric customers on May 15, 2025. The previous Battery Bonus program is closed to new participants as of July 1, 2024.
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?
