Establishes a streamlined grid-ready home interconnection process for renewable energy systems in Hawaii.
The bill amends Hawaii Revised Statutes to establish a streamlined process for connecting grid-ready homes to the state's electric grid. It mandates the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission to create a process that allows licensed electricians to isolate electrical service for meter panel replacement, meter socket adapter installation, or main panel upgrades. The process includes streamlined notification and approval for customers installing distributed energy resources, a cost-sharing fee of $350 for necessary service upgrades, and requires utilities to process interconnections within two.
