The Future of Energy in Hawaiʻi: Conversations on Culture, Community, and the Role of Geothermal

Summary

Hawaii faces a challenge in broadening geothermal energy development due to unique community and cultural perspectives, despite high potential. To address this, NREL, funded by the U.S. DOE, launched an engagement initiative in 2023, involving a Community Council and eight Listening Sessions in 2024 to gather local insights. The engagement efforts are completed, with the report summarizing community input, barriers, and opportunities for future geothermal projects in the state.
