Energy Generation:
Where are we now?
Most Expensive Energy
Reasons why energy is so expensive in Hawaii
Reason #1: Economies of Scale
Middleton Power Plant (620 MW)
Grand Coulee Dam (7,000 MW)
Mainland Electrical Trading
Palaau Plant, Molokai (12 MW)
Miki Bason, Lana'i (10 MW)

Hawaii's Energy Situation
• The Bad News– Isolated, small,
inefficient grids– Oil-based energy
generation– High cost of energy– Likely to get even
higher
• The Good News– Lots of renewable
resources– Small size, modest
energy needs– Renewables are cost-
effective more quickly
