Strengthens Hawaii's renewable portfolio standard to achieve zero emissions by 2045.

The bill strengthens Hawaii's renewable portfolio standard to achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. It mandates that by December 31, 2045, all electricity generation must come from renewable energy sources. The public utilities commission can set standards for specific types of renewable energy resources. The bill also requires renewable energy sources with measurable carbon dioxide emissions to operate an in-stack carbon dioxide continuous emissions monitoring system in each smokestack.
