Request for Information for Long-Term Renewable Energy Development
Hawaiian Electric seeks information on renewable energy projects with extended development timelines—those facing transmission constraints, permitting challenges, or complex land-use requirements that exceed standard procurement windows. Responses will shape how the utility redesigns future renewable solicitations to accommodate longer development periods and unique technological or siting constraints. A working group meeting in late August or September will convene respondents to align on modified procurement approaches.

AI overview
Hawaiian Electric issued a Request for Information (RFI) to explore opportunities and assess the current state of technology for renewable energy projects that require longer development timeframes than the Companies' standard Request for Proposal timelines allow. These projects are characterized by unique technological requirements, transmission constraints, project permitting challenges, or land use limitations that necessitate extended development periods.
Responses to the RFI will inform Hawaiian Electric's determination of advancement and development status for long-term renewable projects. The information gathered will assist the Companies in identifying necessary modifications to future resource procurement processes to accommodate the distinctive aspects of longer development timeframes and complex project requirements.
Interested parties are required to complete the Questionnaire provided in Appendix A of the RFI and submit their responses to Hawaiian Electric. The Companies plan to schedule a working group meeting in late August or September 2022 to discuss responses and collaborate on how future procurements can be modified to better account for projects with extended development requirements.
Submission Instructions: Responses should be sent via email (preferred) with PDF file attachments to renewableacquisition@hawaiianelectric.com, or submitted by U.S. Mail to the Manager of Energy Procurement at the address provided. For questions or clarifications regarding the RFI process, contact renewableacquisition@hawaiianelectric.com.
