Energy & Water
Kauai Island Utility Cooperative has 2 proposals for rooftop solar that it presented to the Hawaii Public Utility Commission:
Customer Self-Supply
Residents would agree not to export any amount of energy except for “inadvertent” volumes
No compensation for any amount of energy export
Sets a minimum electric bill
Smart Export option
compensated only at times when “exported energy has value to the utility
compensates customers at a fixed rate between $0.15/kWh to $0.28/kWh, which is lower than the retail rate, and set a cap for both.
Background: IN 2015, Hawaii eliminated its net metering system with the goal of replacing the system
