INTERVENTION INTO HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC CO’S FIVE-YEAR ACTION PLAN is a suggestion by Life of the Land. The document was recently submitted to the state Public Utilities Commission. Life of the Land writes that the plans “call for expanded geothermal, importation of liquified natural gas, smart meters, Hu Honua and `Aina Koa Pono. The plans include virtually no community input nor any discussion on externalities. The PUC is establishing a window of opportunity for potential intervenors to enter the regulatory proceedings. Being a party means being able to file written requests for information to the HECO companies, responding to any questions asked of your group, being able to submit written testimony of witnesses, etc.” Life of the Land is providing a description of using the PUC website for e-filing and e-notification and a guide to creating a motion to intervene. “There is no reason that Big Island interests should have only one community group intervening,” said Life of the Land executive director Henry Curtis. See lifeofthelandhawaii.org. The five-year action plan can be read at hawaiianelectric/IRP.
