Market Business Leader, AES Hawai‘i

Along with being the world’s most remote populated location, Hawai‘i is also the most dependent on imported oil to generate electricity for our homes, businesses, and facilities. AES Hawai‘i is committed to helping our state change that unenviable distinction with a multitude of projects producing clean, renewable energy.  

Energy independence is key to enhancing Hawai‘i’s livability, affordability, and sustainability for all of us to have a healthy environment where future generations can thrive. AES Hawai‘i’s array of clean energy projects are utilizing the power of solar, wind, hydroelectric, and battery energy storage to support our state’s goal of having 100% renewable energy on the grid by 2045.  

Developing clean energy projects that eliminate fossil fuels and rely on our natural resources for electricity is vital to protecting the health of our islands and mitigating the effects of climate change.  

Leading this effort for the AES Hawai‘i team are homegrown professionals who embrace our local values, cherish our local way of life, and are committed to preserving the qualities that make our beloved Hawai‘i so incredibly special, including the energy we need to power our daily lives.
