Hawaii SB587 establishes a streamlined interconnection process for grid-ready homes with renewable energy systems.

Hawaii SB587 amends existing statutes to create a streamlined process for connecting grid-ready homes to the Hawaii electric system. The bill mandates that the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission establish procedures for interconnection, including a virtual commissioning process and a cost-sharing fee of $350 for necessary service upgrades. It also requires the commission to ensure the process allows licensed electricians to perform specific tasks and mandates a report on the process's effectiveness.
