The Hawaii Energy Conference (HEC) is an event put on by Maui Economic Development Board that attracts energy industry leaders from Hawaii, the Continental U.S., Japan and Europe to exchange ideas on how to better serve the community in today’s rapidly changing power generation and delivery environment.

With the postponement of the March event, the 2020 program will now take place virtually on July 30 addressing the topic: Imagining a Just Recovery. What would that look like for the grid?
