SB700

Hawaii SB700 mandates the installation of distributed energy resources at state facilities to enhance resilience and reduce emissions.

Hawaii SB700 requires the Department of Accounting and General Services to evaluate the potential for installing distributed energy resources, such as rooftop solar and battery storage, at state facilities. The department must submit a report to the legislature detailing the findings. The bill mandates that agencies implement these systems at facilities starting January 1, 2026, for those not previously compliant since 2010, and January 1, 2028, for all other facilities.
