Requesting the Public Utilities Commission to consider specific conditions before approving liquefied natural gas infrastructure costs in Hawaii.

The bill requests the Public Utilities Commission to ensure that liquefied natural gas infrastructure costs are approved only if certain conditions are met. These include considering the risks and costs of diverting resources from renewable energy, the risks of stranded assets, and the effects on counties like Hawaii, Kauai, and Maui. The bill also requests that any approval includes protections for customers from fuel price volatility and that infrastructure costs are fully amortized by 2045.
