Hawaii Quick Facts
Hawaii requires that 100% of its electricity be generated by renewable sources of energy by 2045. In 2022, about 29% of the state's total generation came from renewables. Per Hawaii State law, effective July 1, 2015 sets 30% by 2020, 40% by 2030, and 70% by 2040 interim targets.
The new mandate is expected to significantly boost a Hawaiian economy now burdened by a $5 billion per year cost for the imported oil that supplies about 70% of the state’s current electricity, Argus reports.
