Power Move
As of December 31, 2024, rebate applications for Power Move are no longer being accepted. Ongoing Power Move projects must be complete by June 30, 2025.

For questions on ongoing commercial energy storage projects, contact Steven Bakovic at steven.bakovic@leidos.com.
The Power Move program consists of incentives for certain measures that reduce load during the utility peak hours of 5:00 – 9:00PM. The collective demand savings from participating commercial customers will help move our state closer to a 100% clean energy future. Plus, your business may be able to reduce your demand charges.
Bonus $$ for Demand (kW) Savings
Custom projects on Oahu, Maui, or Hawaii Island that reduce load during utility peak hours and are pre-approved will receive a BONUS rebate at the following levels:
| Project Measure Life | Bonus Amount: |
| Less than or equal to 5 years | $0.08 per kWh saved + $400.00 per kW saved from 5 to 9pm on weekdays |
| More than 5 years | $0.12 per kWh saved + $400.00 per kW saved from 5 to 9pm on weekdays |
The total rebate for a project is capped at 50% of project costs.
These rebate bonus levels are subject to funding availability and are first come, first served. Projects receiving this bonus will see a 20% percent higher rebate, on average, compared to the current custom rebate rates. Maximizing utility peak demand savings will maximize the potential total rebate.

Commercial energy storage projects on Oahu and Maui that are pre-approved for the rebate will receive the following rebate levels:
*The rebate is dependent upon the dispatch capacity committed.
The total rebate per applicant is capped at 25% of the Power Move Commercial Energy Storage program budget. These rebate levels are subject to funding availability and are first come, first served.
