AT HOME, AT WORK, AND ON THE GO

Efficiency FIRST!

Reducing energy use is a critical component of Hawai‘i’s broader energy transformation, playing a key role in reducing the land and resources required to meet the state’s energy needs. Energy efficiency consistently proves to be the most cost-effective strategy for cutting greenhouse gas emissions, lowering energy costs for residents and businesses, and enhancing grid stability. By reducing overall energy demand, efficiency measures help minimize the need for new power generation infrastructure, decrease reliance on imported fossil fuels, and support the transition to a clean energy future. Additionally, energy efficiency drives economic benefits by creating jobs in retrofitting, construction, and emerging clean energy technologies.

RESOURCES

Whether you are looking to improve your home’s energy efficiency or investing in your business to reduce energy costs, the Hawai‘i State Energy Office has you covered. The compiled list of materials and resources can help all sectors reduce electricity consumption through energy-efficient products and residential and commercial rebates and incentives.

Transportation represents about half of the energy consumed in Hawai‘i, with about 90 percent of that split between aviation and ground transportation. The prospective growth of electrification of transportation will greatly expand the electricity sector for the foreseeable future.
