REQUESTING THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION TO CONDUCT A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS ON THE BEST PATHS TO MAXIMIZE COST REDUCTION AND MINIMIZE FINANCIAL RISK TO HAWAII RESIDENTS WHILE MEETING STATE GOALS.

Summary

The Senate’s concurrent resolution directs the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to conduct an independent, expert‑led analysis of options that could lower energy costs and protect Hawaiians from price volatility while meeting state energy goals. The study must consider technologies, innovations, and experiences from other jurisdictions through 2055, and the PUC must share preliminary and final reports with the Legislature. The goal is to give policymakers better information before making long‑term contracts or decisions that could lock the state into costly imported fuels.
