How does Hawaii generate it's electricity?

Answer 1

Hi! Hawaii derives:

77% of its electric power from petroleum
14% from coal
4% from wood and waste (biomass)
4% from geothermal
0.5% from hydropower

according to the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy office. Less than 1/3 of Hawaii's power comes from renewable energy, including solar and wind. Hawaii primarily depends on imported fossil fuels for energy.
