HI HB1745

Repeals Hawaii's mandate for 100% renewable energy generation by 2045, replacing it with a 70% renewable portfolio standard by December 31, 2045

Hawaii currently achieves approximately 30-35% renewable energy generation statewide as of 2025, falling short of existing targets

The original Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative from 2008 set a 70% renewable goal by 2030, which was later amended to require 100% by 2045

Maintains existing interim renewable portfolio standards: 10% by 2010, 15% by 2015, 30% by 2020, 40% by 2030, and 70% by 2045

Cites concerns about grid instability, higher ratepayer costs, infrastructure limitations, and reliance on unproven technologies as justification for rolling back the 100% mandate
