Faculty author temporarily withdraws UHERO report on Hawaiʻi's electricity future

The faculty author of the "Hawaiʻi's Electricity Future: Three Findings on Solar Reform, Enhanced Geothermal, and the JERA LNG Proposal" report has informed UHERO that he is temporarily withdrawing the report. He intends to correct identified errors, complete a comprehensive review, seek additional input and feedback from stakeholders and republish a revised edition.

The findings and conclusions in any UHERO publication are those of its authors, not of UHERO or the University of Hawaiʻi. UHERO does not take positions on policy questions. UHERO's role is to provide the evidence and analysis that decision-makers and the public need, not to advocate for particular outcomes.

UHERO reports regularly address issues of statewide importance, and it is essential that they meet the highest standards of accuracy and transparency. Public confidence depends on those standards being consistently upheld. In light of this matter, UHERO is reviewing its publication standards to ensure they remain clear and are applied consistently.
