HI HR88

Urges the Public Utilities Commission to require all documents, testimony, and visual displays submitted in connection with dockets include accurate net or projected energy generation information alongside nameplate capacity figures.

Requires all Public Utilities Commission public meetings discussions refer to net or projected energy generation in addition to nameplate capacity.

Addresses the distinction between nameplate capacity and actual energy output, noting statewide wind production is estimated at 171 megawatts by nameplate capacity but only 32 percent of that amount in actual energy capacity.

Emphasizes that renewable energy projects lack clarity on actual energy production ability, which may discourage public support, and that the public has a right to accurate information to submit informed testimony.

Directs certified copies be transmitted to the Governor, Director of Business Economic Development and Tourism, Chair of the Public Utilities Commission, and Hawaii State Energy Office.
