HI HB790

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

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

Requires tariffs to include provisions allowing aggregators to participate in grid service programs, automatically enroll customers, receive dispatch signals, deliver performance data, and receive payments directly from utilities

Mandates that energy exported from solar-plus-storage systems to the grid be credited at rates sufficient to encourage distributed energy resource deployment

Requires the PUC to establish grid service compensation values that fairly compensate system owners for resiliency, capacity, and ancillary service value provided by their systems
