Plans for a biomass energy plant on the Big Island are heading back to the Public Utilities Commission after the Hawaii Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Pepeʻekeo plant.
The state s highest court supported Honua Ola Bioenergy’s appeal of a PUC order that halted the facility’s planned completion. The nearly half a billion-dollar plant, that was formerly known as “Hu Honua,” would burn wood to produce energy for Hawaiian Electric s power grid.
The court ruled that the PUC misinterpreted a 2019 court ruling and needs to hold a hearing that follows the court’s instructions. That includes consideration of greenhouse gas emissions, a concern brought by the environmental group Life of the Land.
