There are several simple ways to take advantage of this new rate design, which Hawaiian Electric is communicating to customers selected for enrollment. Customers may pursue energy efficiency measures (e.g., install efficient appliances and lightbulbs), shift energy usage away from the evening peak period (e.g., set timers for water heaters, laundry, and other appliances), schedule electric vehicles to charge overnight or during the daytime, and consider installing renewable energy measures that can reduce and/or shift energy usage. Customers may also access their My Energy Use Portal on Hawaiian Electric’s website to learn more about their current energy usage and ways to save.
