OVERVIEWHawaii is making impressive strides toward hitting its target of 100% renewable energy by 2045. The state, its regulators, utilities and stakeholders are now well down the road towards tackling the commitment to several laudable, though formidable, power system goals:

• Achieving 100% renewable energy by 2045• Attaining 100% carbon-neutral status by 2045• Creating a flexible grid capable of accommodating and firming the variation in output of wind and solar• Modifying traditional utility compensation structures to reflect a more flexible financial business model that

accommodates the grid participation of distributed energy resources• Facilitating community renewable energy projects• Integrating smart grid technologies, as well as leveraging microgrids, virtual power plants, customer-supplied power

and demand responsePersevering through the myriad system and infrastructure planning documents required by the state’s Public Utility Commission (PUC), Hawaiian Electric and other power system stakeholders are forging answers to a 21st century grid in the crucible of the most vexing power environment in the country. To some it seems an uncomfortably lumpy process. To others, it’s a marvel of collaboration.

This summit will consist of two workshops and a two-day conference. The programs will examine several of the innovative planning processes in the Hawaii power system microcosm that are pioneering national — in some cases, global — paths forward on difficult challenges that will eventually confront most U.S., as well as island, utilities and power systems.

LEARNING OUTCOMES• Assess the interplay between carbon neutral legislation and attainment of 100% RPS• Review the grid modernization landscape in Hawaii• Explore the storage laboratory in Hawaii• Discuss the Hawaii utility business model landscape with regard to customer expectations and regulatory compliance• Assess the contribution of demand response and peak load management towards Hawaii’s transition from fossil fuels• Evaluate Hawaii’s march towards democratizing grid contributions and access• Discuss system hardening and energy disruption lessons learned from Kilauea and Hurricanes Lane / Olivia• Examine the options for converting contaminated lands and brownfields into energy-productive land uses

PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP

Community Solar (CBRE) Collaboration Toolkit for Hawaii TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 2019

OVERVIEWAs Hawaii’s ground-breaking community-based renewable energy (CBRE) program and tariff are implemented, all parties interested and involved in the delivery of solar projects will benefit from a comprehensive understanding of the essential implementation components, and how to make projects work under the existing framework in the foreseeable time-frame.

This program’s objective is to bring expertise and additional insights to bear from around the other parts of the U.S. where community solar projects have been instituted. It will offer “best practices” as to what has (and hasn’t) worked. Finally, the workshop will further the policy conversation about how CBRE stakeholders in Hawaii can collaborate and continue their refinement of the project development framework, so that it achieves its objectives of extending renewable energy options to a broader swath of utility consumers in an economical fashion.

LEARNING OUTCOMESAttendees will have the opportunity at this workshop to:

• Assess types of solar garden and community-scale programs and development scenarios• Appraise how the Hawaii CBRE program guidelines compare to other shared/community solar gardens, where they

differ, and how the most prolific development results can be incentivized• Discuss the important marketing components that drive shared/community solar gardens program subscriptions• Assess the important regulatory and consumer protections elements of shared/community solar gardens• Evaluate common challenges that utilities and their community-scale collaboration partners confront, and how they can

be addressed• Compare lessons learned from community solar/garden programs around the country for application in Hawaii• Identify how NGOs can improve their chances for CBRE development

POST-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP

Planning & Procuring in Parallel: Broadening Hawaii Grid Development OptionsFRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 2019

OVERVIEWThe Hawaiian Electric Cos. have pioneered a new approach to planning and procuring resources that will — 1) create a flexible grid capable of accommodating the variation in output of wind and solar, 2) modernize and integrate smart grid technologies, 3) accommodate proliferating distributed energy resources, and 4) adjust to a vibrantly aspirational legislative and regulatoryenvironment. This new process, referred to as integrated grid planning (IGP), is a bold step towards the companies’ stated intent inthe Dec 2016 PSIP to accelerate the timeline for attainment of 100% renewable energy outcome to 2040.

The IGP paradigm was forged by the five Hawaiian Electric operating utilities after multiple integrated resource (IRP) and power supply improvement plan (PSIP) iterations fell short of PUC expectations. This planning blueprint pioneers a more holistic process that incorporates distribution planning into the more traditional generation resource and transmission planning process. The IGP envelopes the resource, grid services, and non-wires alternatives solution sourcing and acquisition into the heart of the planning process.

This workshop will examine the regulatory, policy and planning instruments within the IGP that will propel the state power systems to move quickly and efficiently towards achieving their renewable energy goals. It will then review the many alternative resources available today and in the future that can be used and integrated into the rapidly evolving “grid of the future” that is both reliable and cost effective. Finally, the program will discuss how the IGP’s innovative, embedded procurement process will more aggressively drive the islands’ progress toward the interim renewable energy milestones and the ultimate 2045 2040 outcome.

LEARNING OUTCOMES• Discuss Hawaiian Electric’s Integrated Grid Planning (IGP) process• and features of the new approach to IRP• Assess available carbon-free/renewable generation resources• Examine the toolbox of integration options, including storage, demand response and other non-wire alternatives• Explore new integration approaches and business models• Evaluate the innovative vetting and procurement process

“It was a great networking event aside from some presentations that really provided great perspectives.”
