HECO looking to find land for biofuel feedstock and other renewable energy

In Hawaii, to help accelerate and inform efforts to achieve 100 percent renewable energy, the Hawaiian Electric Companies launched an effort to gather information about land that may be made available for future renewable energy projects that will benefit all electric customers.

Hawaiian Electric, Maui Electric, and the Hawaii Electric Light Company are issuing a Request for Information (RFI) which asks interested landowners to provide information about properties on Oahu, Hawaii island, Maui, Molokai, and Lanai available for utility-scale renewable energy projects, such as solar and wind farms, or for growing biofuel feedstock.
