Governor Neil Abercrombie
NGA Hawaii Energy Efficiency Policy Retreat
Hawaii was one of just six states selected by the National Governor’s Association (NGA) to host a retreat focusing on policy development and implementation strategies to promote more efficient use of energy and lower energy costs.
Around the country governors have dealt with energy efficiency in their states by working with public utility commissions and utilities to support actions that reduce energy use. However, impediments still exist. This retreat provides a forum for representatives from Hawaii and other states to share best practices and design or enhance cost-effective energy efficiency programs that meet state goals.
