The Hawaiian Electric Feed-In Tariff (FIT) program is designed to encourage the addition of more renewable energy projects in Hawaii. Pre-established FIT rates and standardized FIT contract terms provide an efficient way to sell renewable energy to the Hawaiian Electric, an investment rated utility. Solar projects in Hawaii generate both federal and state tax credits. Solar projects like these increase access to clean, affordable energy for households across the state of Hawaii. The energy generated from the Hawaii Utility Solar Portfolio is non-polluting, low cost, and will provide energy to thousands of Hawaiian residences. PROJECT DETAILS LOCATION Hawaii
