HRS §269-46.1
State goals and rules for rooftop solar and energy storage
This section tells the Public Utilities Commission to set a goal for new customer-owned energy systems by 2030 and to create payment rates for grid services, microgrids, and community renewable energy. These rates must include special rules for energy storage, allow companies to manage customers' participation, and verify performance without extra meters.

(c) Any tariffs or tariff amendments filed pursuant to this section shall: (1) Include a rider for new and existing energy storage devices; (2) Include provisions that allow aggregators to: (A) Participate in grid service programs; (B) Automatically enroll and manage their customers' participation; (C) Receive dispatch signals and other communications from the electric utility; (D) Deliver performance measurement and verification data to the electric utility; and (E) Receive grid service program payments directly from the electric utility; and (3) Provide for measurement and verification of energy storage device performance directly at the device without the requirement for the installation of an additional meter, and other measurement standards for non-energy-storage and electric vehicle technologies for approval by the commission.
