Following the volcanic eruptions on Hawaii’s Big Island,
. . . “We know that we have hundreds of poles, and
. . . associated equipment that has been damaged or destroyed by lava activity,
. . . We have also lost a switching station that was covered by lava.
We are unable to complete a full assessment of damage,
. . . until the eruption stops and the areas are safe for entry.”

Meanwhile, the state legislature approved, and sent to Gov. David Ige a proposal,
. . . to create a standard microgrid services tariff,
. . . which aims to make it easier, and more cost-effective for developers, and
. . . homeowners to install microgrids.
The bill also aims to prevent microgrid owners,
. . . from defecting from the grid.
