Kauai went from having the highest electricity rates in the state to the lowest… Largely thanks to solar power! ☀️

After Kauai’s utility company transitioned from being investor-owned to a locally owned cooperative in 2002, they led the charge in clean energy with a goal of slashing rates.

Fast forward to today: Kauai generates 60% of its electricity from renewables, exceeding its target of 50% renewable by 2023! The cooperative aims for 100% renewable energy by '33, way ahead of the state's deadline.

We applaud their progress and commitment to prioritizing both ratepayers and sustainable energy! 👏 Read on for more about their fascinating journey and pioneering technology!

Making the island’s utility a cooperative resulted in cheaper and cleaner power. It could hold lessons for communities around the country debating local utility control.

Honoring the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. today and every day. 🙏

Our commitment to empowering communities through sustainable energy echoes Dr. King's vision of equality, justice, and unity. 🌎 Solar power isn't just about reducing carbon footprints; it's about uplifting communities and addressing social inequities. 🙌

In California, where energy efficiency sets a standard, many face the heavy burden of energy poverty due to soaring electricity rates. Low-income groups bear a disproportionate impact, spending a significant portion of their income on utility bills.

By championing affordable solar solutions, we strive to break barriers and provide access to clean energy for all. Let's honor Dr. King's legacy by continuing to work towards a future where clean energy isn't a privilege but a right. ☀️💚
