Title: Energy self-sufficiency for the county of Maui. Volume III. Energy Plan

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5801973

Volume I presented the current energy picture of Maui county, while Volume II projected a number of tentative energy scenarios. This volume, Vol. III, comprehensively analyzes the future of energy in the county and selects the most-probable scenario. The scenario assumes Maui County's present high growth rate will eventually drop to a moderate and then a low rate. The county can reach energy self-sufficiency in 1995 at a cost of $710.9 million. The major natural energy resouces are the indigenous ones: geothermal, biomass, wind, and solar. Conservation, of course, will play an important role. An energy plan is drawn up, which details the development program for the components - each natural energy resource, conservation, submarine electric cable, transportation, conservation, legislation, community awareness and interaction, and energy plan updating. 34 references.
