GreenBiz

VERGE Hawaii convened more than 700 key stakeholders — from government, military, corporations, utilities, NGOs and solution providers. Conversations revolved around lessons learned during the State’s clean energy journey and explored the technical, political and cultural solutions necessary to build a clean, resilient economy.

This year marked the 10-year anniversary of the inception of the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative, which was instrumental in the state’s ambitious mandate of 100% renewable energy in the electricity sector by 2045. More recently, the State’s islands committed to reach 100% renewable fuel sources for public and private ground transportation by 2045 – another ambitious first-of-its-kind target. Some of the key questions that framed the conversation included:

• What lessons have the State’s decision-makers, influencers and communities learned since committing to these pivotal goals?

• Which technologies, policies and partnerships will enable it to achieve this?

• How can others from around the world learn from and help accelerate Hawaii’s groundbreaking clean energy transition?
