Renovation of a municipal facility in Honolulu, Hawaii. Completed plans call for the renovation of a municipal facility.

Amendment one extends due date to Friday, April 8, 2022. The Hawaii Public Utilities Commission ("Commission") is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to solicit feedback related to the establishment of the Hawaii Electricity Reliability Administrator (HERA). The Commission intends to exercise its statutory ability to form the HERA under contract with the overall objective of ensuring the reliable design and operation of the Hawaii electric systems, with an initial focus on the system operated by the Hawaiian Electric Companies ("Hawaiian Electric"). The Commission is seeking feedback from: entities having an interest in serving under contract with the Commission as the HERA; and/or experts in the development, administration, or management of a process, program, or system similar to that envisioned for the HERA. The key objectives currently envisioned for the HERA include: establish effective and transparent reliability standards; oversee interconnection-related matters including dispute resolution; oversee grid operations, system planning, and related studies; and oversee and advise on cybersecurity issue. The primary objective of the RFI is to understand the capabilities, concerns, and constructive feedback from entities that could potentially serve in the role of the HERA in order to develop an effective and practical scope prior to requesting proposals.
