Bill > SB660

This bill requires the Hawaii State Energy Office to conduct a comprehensive study aimed at identifying the most cost-effective investments for transitioning from combustible fuels to clean energy alternatives. Specifically, the study will analyze different energy consumption sectors to determine which areas can be decarbonized most quickly and efficiently through additional public investments in combustion-free technologies. The Hawaii State Energy Office will be mandated to submit a detailed report of its findings and recommendations, including potential legislative proposals, to the state legislature no later than twenty days before the start of the 2026 regular legislative session. By focusing on cost-effectiveness and sector-specific analysis, the bill seeks to provide policymakers with strategic insights into accelerating Hawaii's transition to cleaner energy sources. The act will take effect immediately upon approval, signaling the state's commitment to exploring and implementing sustainable energy solutions.
