THE DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND TOURISM’S Hawai`i state Energy Office has launched an improved website (energy.hawaii.gov) along with new accounts for Twitter (@EnergyHawaiiGov) and Facebook (facebook/Hawaii-StateEnergyOffice). “In recent years, the state Energy Office has produced and provided an abundance of online resources and self-help tools,” DBEDT director Richard Lim said. “The revamped website is designed to help potential investors, developers, stakeholders and policy makers and the public easily navigate and locate key information on Hawai`i’s clean energy portfolio.” With the URL remaining at energy.hawaii.gov, the upgraded website features improved site navigation of the Hawai`i State Energy Office’s top programs, including GEMS (Green Energy Market Securitization), Energy Savings Performance Contracting in the Efficiency section and Project Permitting Assistance. Users will also be able to access the online suite of self-help tools such as the Renewable EnerGIS Map for analyzing the renewable energy potential of sites statewide and the Renewable Energy Permitting Wizard that helps proposed projects understand the various required permits. Information about financing green energy improvements is available at energy.hawaii.gov. “Our intent is for the energy industry, media and community to view the updated energy.hawaii.gov website as their primary resource for Hawai`i-focused clean energy solutions and opportunities,” state energy administrator Mark Glick said. “It’s a great way to stay connected with what’s happening in Hawai`i’s fast-moving clean energy landscape.” “As demonstrated by the state Energy Office’s site, the state’s online transformation will provide increased transparency and a better flow of information for the public,” state chief information officer Sonny Bhagowalia said. “This builds on the website modernization project completed earlier this year that included the redesign of all state department websites. Over the next six months, all state-attached agency websites will be redesigned to this new format.”
