The PSIP Update provides the Hawaiian Electric Companies’ near term actions that will lead to the use of renewable resources to meet the state’s 100% renewable portfolio standard goal by 2045.
The PSIP Update may be accessed by clicking “Selected PUC Filings” on the Investor Relations page of HEI’s website ( www.hei.com ). Alternatively, please visit http://selectedpucfilings.hei.com .
