Customers of HECO, HELCO, and MECO are eligible to receive incentives from the public benefits fund. Programs supported by Hawaii Energy include rebates for home appliances, industrial energy efficiency, and solar water heaters, among others. In addition, as amended by the 2013 legislation, the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism can issue Green Infrastructure Bonds in order to raise funds for renewable energy and energy efficiency projects. Revenue from the bonds will be used for on-bill financing and loan programs offered by the state and bondholders will be repaid with PBF funds. History In June 2006, the Hawaii State Legislature enacted legislation to create a public benefits fund (PBF) for energy efficiency and demand side management. In July 2013, the law was amended to allow for the financing of renewable energy technologies that are eligible under the Renewable Portfolio Standard.
