In 2001, Hawaii’s Renewable Portfolio Standard amended state statute to allow<br />
interconnection and net metering of solar, wind turbine, biomass, or hydroelectric energy<br />
generating facilities, or a hybrid system consisting of two or more of these facilities, with<br />
a capacity of not more than 10 kW owned and operated by residential or commercial<br />
customer of an electric utility. These systems must derive power by renewable energy<br />
sources (defined in the RPS as electrical energy produced by wind, solar energy,<br />
hydropower, landfill gas, waste-to-energy, geothermal resources, ocean thermal energy<br />
conversion, wave energy, biomass including municipal solid waste, biofuels or fuels<br />
derived entirely from organic sources, hydrogen fuels derived entirely from renewable<br />
energy, or fuel cells where the fuel is derived entirely from renewable sources.<br />
"Renewable energy" also means electrical energy savings brought about by the use of<br />
solar and heat pump water heating.) In 2005, the eligible facility generating capacity<br />
was raised to 50 kW. Interconnection standards for all distributed generation systems<br />
were issued in 2002.<br />

The Hawaii Center for Advanced Transportation <strong>Technologies</strong> (HCATT), formerly known<br />
as the Hawaii Electric Vehicle Demonstration Project, was established in 1993 by the<br />
state agency, High Technology Development Corporation, to represent the Hawaii<br />
Consortium in the Defense Department’s Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Technology<br />
Program. In addition to other electric vehicle technologies, HCATT has:<br />
• Facilitated a fuel cell bus demonstration at Hickam Air Force Base.<br />
