On December 23, 2016, Hawaiian Electric, and its subsidiaries, Hawaii Electric Light Company, Inc. and Maui Electric Company, Limited (collectively the “Hawaiian Electric Companies”) filed with the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Hawaii (PUC), their Power Supply Improvement Plan (PSIP) Update, which incorporated input from the Parties in the proceeding, and includes alternative scenarios and sensitivity analyses and iterations on modeling as required by the PUC. The PSIP Update provides the Hawaiian Electric Companies’ near term actions that will lead to the use of renewable resources to meet the state’s 100% renewable portfolio standard goal by 2045.
The PSIP Update may be accessed by clicking “Selected PUC Filings” on the Investor Relations page of HEI’s website (www.hei.com). Alternatively, please visit http://selectedpucfilings.hei.com. These docketed filings are also made available by the PUC on its website at http://dms.puc.hawaii.gov/dms (Docket No. 2014-0183).
As a result of this filing, on December 23, 2016, Hawaiian Electric issued a news release, “Hawaiian Electric Companies submit updated energy plans.” The news release is furnished as Exhibit 99.
