Hawaii HB342 mandates gas utilities to establish a renewable gas tariff by August 31, 2025, to meet customer demand for renewable energy.

Hawaii HB342 requires gas utilities to file a proposed renewable gas tariff with the public utilities commission by August 31, 2025. The commission must establish the tariff within six months, ensuring it is just, reasonable, and in the public interest without increasing rates for other customers. The tariff is based on the customer's net therm usage and aims to reduce the state's dependence on imported petroleum and minimize price fluctuations. This legislation seeks to expedite the review process to support the state's decarbonization goals.
