SB964

Establishes a public-private partnership to develop waste-to-energy facilities in Hawaii counties with populations below 800,000.

The bill mandates the Hawaii state energy office to create public-private partnerships for developing waste-to-energy facilities in counties with populations under 800,000. These facilities aim to reduce the state's solid waste stream and generate sustainable energy. The partnerships will facilitate renewable energy, energy efficiency, energy resiliency, and clean transportation projects. The bill also tasks the energy office with analyzing and planning policies to achieve these goals, incorporating them into public facilities to reduce costs and meet clean energy objectives.
