#CommunityRenewableEnergy

We are preparing to open the first phase of the Community-Based Renewable Energy (CBRE) program next week on July 11 for applications by qualified subscriber organizations that wish to build and operate a community solar facility. As approved for implementation by the Public Utilities Commission, the program will provide the benefits of solar energy to residential and commercial customers without access to privately-owned rooftop solar, including many renters and apartment dwellers. The first phase of CBRE aims to bring online a total of 8 megawatts of solar, equivalent to a small grid-scale array, in the Hawaiian Electric, Maui Electric and Hawaii Electric Light service territories.
