Programmes for international clean-energy projects

The Hawaii State Energy Office (SEO) provides an online Developer & Investor Center, a dynamic resource that informs users of contemporary issues facing renewable energy development in Hawaii today. The Center provides guidance on project permitting, local utility interconnection, Hawaii business registration, project financing and local incentives, local permitting consultants, and site acquisition in Hawaii. Go to https://energy.hawaii.gov/ for more information.
