HI HB790

Establishes a goal of installing 50,000 new customer-sited distributed energy resources (solar and energy storage systems) in Hawaii by December 31, 2030

Directs the Public Utilities Commission to use tariffs for grid service programs and community-based renewable energy with fair compensation to achieve the installation goal

Requires tariffs to include riders for energy storage devices and allow aggregators to participate in grid service programs, automatically enroll customers, receive dispatch signals, and collect performance data

Mandates that energy exported from solar systems paired with storage be credited at rates sufficient to encourage distributed energy resource deployment and compensate owners for resiliency, capacity, and ancillary service value

Effective date is July 1, 3000 (likely a placeholder date requiring amendment)
