Celebrating its twenty-second anniversary in 2025, the Hawaiʻi Energy Policy Forum (HEPF) is a collaborative network of leaders and practitioners from across the state’s energy ecosystem. Members include representatives from electric utilities, fuel suppliers, renewable energy developers, environmental and community organizations, academia, and state, and local government agencies. Together, they work to advance informed, practical, and equitable policy that support a reliable, prosperous, and secure clean energy future for Hawaiʻi.
The Forum’s mission is to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information, develop and recommend sound energy policies, and promote civic engagement on issues critical to the state’s energy transition. To achieve these aims, HEPF convenes research activities, stakeholder forums, policy briefings, and community outreach to encourage dialogue and foster coordinated action throughout Hawaiʻi’s energy landscape.
