Hawaii Lawmakers Pass Nation's First 100% Renewable Energy Requirement

May 11, 2015 evwind

Hawaii lawmakers voted 74-2 this week to pass the nation's first 100% renewable energy requirement. The measure, House Bill 623, makes Hawaii a global leader in renewable energy policy by requiring that 100% of the islands' electricity must be generated from renewable energy resources – such as wind energy, solar power, and geothermal energy-no later than 2045.

“Hawaii lawmakers made history passing this legislation – not only for the islands, but for the planet,” said Jeff Mikulina, Executive Director of the Blue Planet Foundation.

The measure, if enacted by Governor David Ige, would make Hawaii the first state in the nation with such a 100% renewable energy standard. Blue Planet Foundation, whose mission is to clear the path for 100% renewable energy, praised the move.

“Passage of this measure is a historic step towards a fossil fuel free Hawaii,” said Mikulina. “This visionary policy is a promise to future generations that their lives will be powered not by climate-changing fossil fuel, but by clean, local, and sustainable sources of energy.”

House Bill 623 also increases the interim requirement to 30% renewable by 2020. Last year, Hawaii generated about 22% of its electricity from renewable resources.
