Extends Hawaii's energy-efficiency portfolio standards to 2045, with interim goals set for 2015 through 2040.

This bill extends Hawaii's energy-efficiency portfolio standards, aiming for six thousand gigawatt hours of cumulative persisting electricity savings by 2045. It mandates interim goals for 2015 through 2040, allowing the public utilities commission to adjust these standards to maximize cost-effective energy-efficiency programs and technologies. The commission will evaluate these standards every five years, starting in 2013, and may revise them based on available information.
