The Customer Grid Supply program is now at capacity, but customers can buy rooftop systems that don’t export to the grid and will still decrease electric bills.

For an eighth year, Maui Electric Company has been named as one of the nation’s top utilities for connecting the most solar watts per customer to the grid.

The Hawaiian Electric Companies, in partnership with E-Gear LLC, will launch a pilot program designed to allow more customers to interconnect photovoltaic systems on Moloka‘i.

Maui Electric Company is proposing to purchase electricity from two large solar projects—the first of their kind on Maui. These projects are expected to produce up to 5.7 megawatts of solar power for MECO’s grid at 11.06 cents per kilowatt hour.

JLM Energy Inc. and Maui Solar Project are offering a practical new energy appliance that changes the way renewable power is collected, stored and used.

The pilot program was launched last year to help business customers control the cost of electric bills, while helping the utility maintain reliability and add more renewable energy to the Maui grid.
