Find The Lego: How Indonesia Can Turn Diesel Generator Retirement Into A Scalable Program
Indonesia has reached the point where replacing remote diesel generation with solar and batteries is no longer a speculative clean energy idea. It is an economic and strategic proposition, and the timing of PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara’s (PLN), Indonesia’s state electricity company, latest announcement matters. While the utility’s April statement … [continued]

The Clean Energy Future Hawaiʻi Can Actually Build: New TFIE Strategy White Paper
The newly published white paper began with a question that persisted because of how clearly island systems expose the realities of energy. Can Hawaiʻi, an isolated archipelago with no continental grid behind it and a long dependence on imported fuels, build an energy system that is cleaner, more resilient, more … [continued]

From Fuel Shock to Financial Stability in Hawaiʻi
Iran and the Strait of Hormuz are not abstractions for Hawaiʻi. They are a reminder that the state still buys its energy from global fuel markets it does not control. The International Energy Agency described 2022 as the first truly global energy crisis, and recent reporting on the Gulf shock … [continued]

Beyond Generation: The Grid Innovations Hawaiʻi Needs Next
Naturally, just when Hawaiʻi’s decarbonization pathway starts to look complete, another chapter occurs to me. After the generation mix, the island-by-island resource story, the transport implications, and the logic of electrification, what remains is the part of the energy transition that fossil systems used to provide almost by accident. Hawaiʻi … [continued]

Oʻahu 2050: A Hard-Charging Roadmap to a Zero-Carbon Energy System
What follows is a draft roadmap for a decarbonized O’ahu. This roadmap does not appear out of nowhere. It follows a long chain of analysis that rebuilt Oʻahu’s energy system piece by piece. Earlier articles stripped away overseas aviation fuel, international maritime bunkering, and military demand to isolate the island’s … [continued]
