POWERFUL CORRECTION


In Rob Parsons' article titled "Public (F)utility" (Nov. 15, 2007) there is an incorrect fact. When discussing net-metering programs for Solar PV systems it is stated that, "the program is only available to provide energy credits to those producing five kw or less." This should actually read 50 kw, quite a significant difference!

Rob Parsons responds: Mahalo to the Hawaii PV Coalition for catching a mistake in my article. The correct threshold figure for net-metering energy credits should have read 50kw. The incorrect figure came from my notes of the presentation by Public Utilities Commissioner John Cole, who spoke without the benefit of an accompanying Powerpoint. Several Energy Expo presentations have been added to the County website, and may be found at: www.mauicounty.gov/mayor/economic/pdf/EnergyExpo_Proceedings.
