Today, the Hawaii Solar Energy Association (HSEA) announces its endorsement of David Ige’s reelection campaign as Governor of the State of Hawaii. Governor Ige has a formidable record of support for clean energy in Hawaii. During his time in Office, Ige opposed the takeover of the Hawaiian Electric Company by Nextera, opposed the development of liquified natural gas (LNG), and led the effort to enact the state’s commitment to a 100% renewable energy by 2045.
“Governor Ige is committed to bringing renewable energy to Hawaii,” says Will Giese, HSEA Executive Director. “The Hawaii Solar Energy Association is proud to endorse Governor Ige’s leadership on clean energy for another four years.”
“Governor Ige understands that renewable resources like solar are not a risk, but an imperative,” says Brian Gold, HSEA’s Board President, “We’re excited to continue working with his administration to provide greater customer choice and cleaner energy for the people of Hawaii.”
Founded in 1977, the Hawaii Solar Energy Association is a Non-Profit organization and is comprised of installers, distributors, manufacturers, auditors, and financiers of solar water heating and photovoltaic systems. The majority of our member companies are locally owned and operated, making HSEA the leading voice of Hawaii’s solar industry.
