HECO to hold meeting about Oahu's electrical future

Advertiser Staff

Hawaiian Electric Company will hold a meeting open to the public next month to discuss future electrical needs on O'ahu and listen to public comment on the proposed objectives of its fourth Integrated Resource Planning process.

The meeting is set for 6:30 p.m. July 5 at R.L. Stevenson Middle School, 1202 Prospect St.

Integrated Resource Planning is a process established by the Public Utilities Commission to forecast, analyze and prepare to meet electrical demand. The process helps identify the mix of resources used to meet short- and long-term electricity needs, including examining the costs and benefits of renewable energy, energy efficiency and conservation, central station generation, and others sources.
