Why is bill protection only for the first six months of the
study period?

Posted on Jul 29, 2023 in

The Commission approved bill protection for six months to allow customers the opportunity to get comfortable with the rates and learn how to implement energy-shifting and energy-saving measures. However, it is also important that the rates properly incentivize customers to shift energy usage. While bill protection may cease after the first six months, Hawaiian Electric will continue to provide resources for customers to understand how to effectively participate in the TOU Study.
