Learning to Save Money & Lower Your Electric Bill

Friday, Aug. 14, 2015

11 a.m. -- 12:30 p.m.

Members Free Auditorium $2 Nonmembers

Hawaii Energy invites you to attend a "Sharing the Aloha" designed to empower you to take control of your energy usage and lower your electric bills. You will hear Helen Pelekai Wai, a local mom from Nanakuli, who is an engaging and dynamic speaker with the gift of making complex energy topics simple to understand.

You'll receive a free energy-saving device and workbook. Here's what you'll learn during the 1½ hour workshop:

How to save money and energy both at home and work. What appliances use the most electricity, the cost of electricity and low- to no-cost energy conservation tips. How much it costs to take a shower/bath, play video games and operate that old second refrigerator. (It's much more than you think!) How to offset the cost of installing energy-efficient equipment with Hawaii Energy's cash incentives.

ABOUT US
Hawaii Energy is the state energy conservation and efficiency program implemented to help reduce Hawaii's dependence on foreign oil.

MISSION
To educate, encourage and incentivize the ratepayers of Hawaii to invest in conservation behaviors and efficiency measures to reduce Hawaii's dependence on imported fuels.

Choosing efficiency and conservation results in many benefits, including:

Saving money through rebates and smaller electric bills
Protecting the environment for our children and future generations
Reducing our dependence on foreign oil
Creating a sustainable economy for Hawaii
Investing in business for future growth and sustainability
Controlling Hawaii's increasing demand for electricity
Decreasing one's carbon footprint

BACKGROUND
Utilizing ratepayer funds, Hawaii Energy offers cash rebates and other incentives to residents and businesses to help offset the cost of installing energy efficient equipment. In addition to rebates, the program conducts education and training to residents, businesses and trade allies (contractors) to encourage the adoption of energy conservation behaviors and efficiency measures. The program plays an important role in helping the state achieve the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative (HCEI) goal of reducing total electric energy usage by 4.3 billion kWh by 2030.

This is a daunting task that will require a greatly expanded effort on many levels and will involve the proactive support of every citizen of Hawaii. Hawaii Energy will aggressively employ new initiatives in energy conservation and efficiency and also integrate these initiatives with renewable energy efforts to help meet all HCEI goals.

EMPLOYEES
Hawaii Energy employs approximately 35 employees in full and part-time roles with the knowledge, skill and passion to help individuals and businesses save energy. The Hawaii Energy team works together to assist residents and businesses with investing in energy efficiency measures to reduce the state's dependence on imported oil.
