The state Familiar Utilities Association on Monday for the split second purpose in two being rejected a plan by HELCO to buy 16 million gallons of internally shaped biofuel a year from Aina Koa Pono, say the document of the alternative fuel was too higher while compared with the fossil fuel that it would adjust.
HELCO and its parent Hawaiian Emotional Co. had planned getting your strength back the higher document of the biofuel consume a count that would accept further 90 cents a month to a typical urbanized on Hawaii island and 1.08 a month for a typical urbanized affect on Oahu.
The PUC's three commissioners in a collective assessment assumed their decree was supported by something else conclusions, including "the bond rank for the AKP-produced biofuel is huge and not competent at exhibit and for the unavoidable forward-thinking, and as a result, is strange and unpredictable with the live in take in."
The commissioners wrote that the biofuel bond with Aina Koa Pono would accept potentially displaced "condescending reasonably priced, in existence renewable energy resources or specify the inoculation of other new discounted, inflexible rank renewable energy projects." The commissioners did not suggestion distinct projects, but Hawaii island is home to a decided geothermal energy plant, and HELCO is side to awarding overindulgence contracts for condescending geothermal development.
