The plant runs on both biofuels and conventional resources and its ability to black start along with fast ramping and flexible output play a key role in the resilience of the island grid. The project annually saves customers more than 4 million dollars and reduces oil use by 26,000 barrels.12:0013:00Networking lunch13:0015:00Kahauiki Village MicrogridInspired by Hawaii’s plantation-style homes and close-knit communities this 144 home community supports approximately 600 homeless family members. Kahauiki Village is sustainably designed to handle energy needs with photovoltaic, storage and a gas system for backup. This community microgrid runs independently but can recharge battery energy storage via the utility when needed.19:0021:00Hosted networking dinnerWednesday, Nov 6 - Regulatory and Customer ForumStart TimeEnd TimeActivity8:309:30Breakfast at hotel9:3012:30Regulatory Perspectives and the Electrification of TransportationWe have spoken with utility peers and seen some of the programs and projects on the ground, now we will have a deeper dive with regulators, and gain insight into the electrification of transportation.
