Kauaʻi Island Utility Cooperative (KIUC) once again leads the state in renewable generation: achieving 60.2% renewable for 2022.

“We continue to seek new ways to maximize the use of renewables and are working toward a new goal, set by our Board of Directors in January, to reach 100% renewable by 2033,” stated KIUC’s President and Chief Executive Officer, David Bissell. He noted that the KIUC strategic goal accelerates the State of Hawaiʻi timeline of reaching 100% renewable by 2045 by more than a decade.

A Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the West Kauaʻi Energy Project (WKEP) was issued today by the Chairperson of the Department of Land and Natural Resources. The determination followed review of a final environmental assessment (FEA) which was submitted by Kauaʻi Island Utility Cooperative earlier this month.
