The University of Hawaii's Maui College will be 100% fossil fuel-free when its new solar-plus-storage system goes live next year. A solar panel on the roof of a house in Kalihi, Hawaii. Hawaii is working towards becoming a 100% renewable energy state by 2045. This is in part supporting UH and the local government’s own agreement that the University will be ‘net zero’ energy i.e. producing more renewable energy than overall consumption requires, by 2035. The storage projects are forecast to save the university $20m on upgrades and deferred spending.
