Offering Solutions
The 12th annual Hawaii Energy Conference brought industry leaders together to offer solutions addressing the most pressing energy challenges of today.
Featuring ten dynamic panels and one Deep Dive session over two days, the program covered topics ranging from utility-scale renewable energy deployment to community-based initiatives, and the economics and advancements of exporting to the grid. Discussions also tackled energy efficiency, sustainable financing strategies, alternative energy sources, job creation, training, and more.
Complementing the main stage discussions, the new Deep Dive session provided an intimate setting for up to 40 participants to engage directly with experts and explore complex issues like time-of-use rates.
The Hawaii Energy Conference offered networking and exhibiting opportunities to connect with key stakeholders, industry experts, innovators, policymakers and more. Mahalo to those who joined us on Maui to gain insights, share ideas, and collaborate on actionable solutions to building a sustainable future for Hawaii and beyond.
