Hawaii’s overall goal for energy efficiency is to reduce electricity consumption by 4,300 gigawatt-hours by 2030.  To meet this goal, the state will continue to:

1. Align the efficiency regulatory policy framework with clean energy goals;
2. Support the retrofitting of existing residential and commercial buildings;
3. Strengthen new construction policies and building codes;
4. Identify non-building related energy efficiency measures.

 

Looking ahead, there are vast opportunities for new gains in energy efficiency. Hawaii aims to maximize efficiency through technology, building practices, retrofits, and consumer behavioral change.
