Honeywell hired for Hawaiian Electric's peak-load management
Hawaiian Electric Co. has signed a $3.9 million contract with Honeywell International to run a peak-load management program for O'ahu's electric utility. Under the two-year contract, Honeywell will install remote-controlled switches from Cannon Technologies on electric water heaters in more than 12,500 homes. The contract also has provisions for a two-year extension for a total of 25,000 homes over the four years. This will allow HECO to temporarily turn off the heaters, which consume up to 40 percent of energy used in a home, during generation emergencies.
Residential customers who have an electric water heater with a capacity of at least 40 gallons can sign up for the program. These customers receive a $3 monthly bill credit as an incentive to participate.
