The 2025 PROGRAM featured ten dynamic panels and one Deep Dive session, addressing the most pressing energy challenges of today

“This is just the place to be for discussions around energy policy — How do we push and move the needle in Hawaii around energy issues? Having discussions in the panel form with some of the best practices and things that we can learn from other jurisdictions. The conversations that we need to have amongst our peers and other folks that are working in this space — it’s just a great convening.”

“This is a great conference to catch up with everyone. It’s great networking. I can achieve in one morning what might take me weeks to do. The Hawaii Energy Conference is where we have a broader conversation with many perspectives and a willingness to work with people”

Noe Kalipi
Chief Strategy Officer and EVP Hawaii & Pacific, Progression Offshore

“The Hawaii Energy Conference is more important than ever. It is clear that meeting in-person is vital to building trust while discussing issues and solving challenges. Permitting, equity, community engagement, and the general pace of reaching our sustainable goals were key concerns discussed this year, and so much more. The responsibility of our energy transition falls on each one of us.”

Doug McLeod
HEC Program Committee Member, DKK Energy Services, LLC.

“At the Hawaii Energy Conference, I get to meet everyone in the industry, and everyone is brought to the table, all stakeholders, which gives a greater perspective as to what can be accomplished working together.”
