Pacific Light and Power develops utility scale renewable energy projects for Hawaii and Pacific Oceania.
Hawaii and the Pacific Islands offer abundant and unique renewable energy opportunities. Resources are bountiful, and energy prices are among the highest in the world. Hawaii’s greenhouse gas legislation, state tax credits, partnership with the Federal government, and mandated Renewable Portfolio Standards have created a singular climate for renewables.
Pacific Light and Power creates solutions to both short and long term issues for island electrical utilities.
Carbon Neutral - As opposed to petroleum or biomass-fired energy, passive renewables like solar, geothermal and hydro have the fewest carbon impacts.
Price Stabilization - Relative to hydrocarbon and agriculturally-based power generation, our solutions provide rate stabilization by decoupling power generation from market-based inputs.
Firm Power - Our core technologies, Concentrated Solar Thermal with storage, geothermal and hydropower, enable us to provide the firm, load-following power the utilities demand.
Local Knowledge - In this environment, the matrix of knowledge and connections is unusually important.
