Electric utility segment Electric utility segment
Unconsolidated variable interest entities.
Power purchase agreements.  As of June 30, 2020, the Utilities had four PPAs for firm capacity (excluding the Puna Geothermal Ventures (PGV) PPA as PGV has been offline since May 2018 due to lava flow on Hawaii Island) and other PPAs with independent power producers (IPPs) and Schedule Q providers (i.e., customers with cogeneration and/or power production facilities who buy power from or sell power to the Utilities), none of which are currently required to be consolidated as VIEs.
Pursuant to the current accounting standards for VIEs, the Utilities are deemed to have a variable interest in Kalaeloa Partners, L.P. (Kalaeloa), AES Hawaii, Inc. (AES Hawaii) and Hamakua Energy by reason of the provisions of the PPA that the Utilities have with the three IPPs. However, management has concluded that the Utilities are not the primary beneficiary of Kalaeloa, AES Hawaii and Hamakua Energy because the Utilities do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the three IPPs’ economic performance nor the obligation to absorb their expected losses, if any, that could potentially be significant to the IPPs. Thus, the Utilities have not consolidated Kalaeloa, AES Hawaii and Hamakua Energy in its condensed consolidated financial statements. Hamakua Energy is an indirect subsidiary of Pacific Current and is consolidated in HEI’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
For the other PPAs with IPPs, the Utilities have concluded that the consolidation of the IPPs was not required because either the Utilities do not have variable interests in the IPPs due to the absence of an obligation in the PPAs for the Utilities to absorb any variability of the IPPs, or the IPP was considered a “governmental organization,” and thus excluded from the scope of accounting standards for VIEs. Two IPPs of as-available energy declined to provide the information necessary for Utilities to determine the applicability of accounting standards for VIEs. If information is ultimately received from the IPPs, a possible outcome of future analyses of such information is the consolidation of one or both of such IPPs in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The consolidation of any significant IPP could have a material effect on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including the recognition of a significant amount of assets and liabilities and, if such a consolidated IPP were operating at a loss and had insufficient equity, the potential recognition of such losses. If the Utilities determine they are required to consolidate the financial statements of such an IPP and the consolidation has a material effect, the Utilities would retrospectively apply accounting standards for VIEs to the IPP.
Commitments and contingencies.
Contingencies. The Utilities are subject in the normal course of business to pending and threatened legal proceedings. Management does not anticipate that the aggregate ultimate liability arising out of these pending or threatened legal proceedings will be material to its financial position. However, the Utilities cannot rule out the possibility that such outcomes could have a material effect on the results of operations or liquidity for a particular reporting period in the future.

1Includes hydro power and other PPAs
Kalaeloa Partners, L.P.  Under a 1988 PPA, as amended, Hawaiian Electric is committed to purchase 208 MW of firm capacity from Kalaeloa. Hawaiian Electric and Kalaeloa are currently in negotiations to address the PPA term that ended on May 23, 2016. The PPA automatically extends on a month-to-month basis as long as the parties are still negotiating in good faith. Hawaiian Electric and Kalaeloa have agreed that neither party will terminate the PPA (which has been subject to automatic extension on a month-to-month basis) prior to November 20, 2020, to allow for a negotiated resolution and PUC approval.
AES Hawaii, Inc. Under a PPA entered into in March 1988, as amended (through Amendment No. 2) for a period of 30 years ending September 2022, Hawaiian Electric agreed to purchase 180 MW of firm capacity from AES Hawaii. Hawaiian Electric and AES Hawaii have been in dispute over an additional 9 MW of capacity. In February 2018, Hawaiian Electric reached agreement with AES Hawaii on an amendment to the PPA. However, in June 2018, the PUC issued an order suspending review of the amendment pending a Department of Health of the State of Hawaii (DOH) decision on AES Hawaii’s request for approval of its Emission Reduction Plan and partnership with Hawaiian Electric. If approved by the PUC, the amendment will resolve AES Hawaii’s claims related to the additional capacity.
Hu Honua Bioenergy, LLC (Hu Honua). In May 2012, Hawaii Electric Light signed a PPA, which the PUC approved in December 2013, with Hu Honua for 21.5 MW of renewable, dispatchable firm capacity fueled by locally grown biomass from a facility on the island of Hawaii. Under the terms of the PPA, the Hu Honua plant was scheduled to be in service in 2016. However, Hu Honua encountered construction and litigation delays, which resulted in an amended and restated PPA between Hawaii Electric Light and Hu Honua dated May 9, 2017. In July 2017, the PUC approved the amended and restated PPA, which becomes effective once the PUC’s order is final and non-appealable. In August 2017, the PUC’s approval was appealed by a third party. On May 10, 2019, the Hawaii Supreme Court issued a decision remanding the matter to the PUC for further proceedings consistent with the court’s decision which must include express consideration of Green House Gas (GHG) emissions that would result from approving the PPA, whether the cost of energy under the PPA is reasonable in light of the potential for GHG emissions, and whether the terms of the PPA are prudent and in the public interest, in light of its potential hidden and long-term consequences. On June 20, 2019, the PUC issued an order reopening the docket for further proceedings, including re-examining all of the issues in the proceedings. On September 29, 2019, the PUC issued an order setting the procedural schedule for the matter and on December 20, 2019, issued an order modifying the procedural schedule. Pre-hearing matters were completed on March 6, 2020. On July 9, 2020, the PUC issued an order denying the Hawaii Electric Light’s request to waive the amended and restated PPA from the PUC’s competitive bidding requirements and therefore, dismissed the request for approval of the amended and restated PPA without prejudice to possible participation in any future competitive bidding process. On July 20, 2020, Hu Honua filed a motion for reconsideration of the PUC’s order which is currently pending review by the PUC.
Utility projects.  Many public utility projects require PUC approval and various permits from other governmental agencies. Difficulties in obtaining, or the inability to obtain, the necessary approvals or permits can result in significantly increased project costs or even cancellation of projects. In the event a project does not proceed, or if it becomes probable the PUC will disallow cost recovery for all or part of a project, or if PUC-imposed caps on project costs are expected to be exceeded, project costs may need to be written off in amounts that could result in significant reductions in Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated net income.
Enterprise Resource Planning/Enterprise Asset Management (ERP/EAM) implementation project. The ERP/EAM Implementation Project went live in October 2018. Starting in January 2020, Hawaii Electric Light began to incorporate their portion of the deferred project costs in rate base and start the amortization over a 12-year period. As of June 30, 2020, the total deferred project costs and accrued carrying costs after the project went into service amounted to $59.4 million, which is net of the amortization of $0.3 million at Hawaii Electric Light.
In February 2019, the PUC approved a methodology for passing the future cost saving benefits of the new ERP/EAM system to customers developed by the Utilities in collaboration with the Consumer Advocate. The Utilities filed a benefits clarification document on June 10, 2019, reflecting $150 million in future net O&M expense reductions and cost avoidance, and $96 million in capital cost reductions and tax savings over the 12-year service life. To the extent the reduction in O&M expense relates to amounts reflected in electric rates, the Utilities would reduce future rates for such amounts. In October 2019, the PUC approved the Utilities and the Consumer Advocate’s Stipulated Performance Metrics and Tracking Mechanism. As of June 30, 2020, the Utilities’ regulatory liability was $7.2 million for amounts to be returned to customers for reduction in O&M expense included in rates.
At the PUC’s direction, the Utilities have been filing Semi-Annual Enterprise System Benefits (SAESB) reports. The most recent SAESB report was filed on February 26, 2020 for the period July 1 through December 31, 2019.
Environmental regulation.  The Utilities are subject to environmental laws and regulations that regulate the operation of existing facilities, the construction and operation of new facilities and the proper cleanup and disposal of hazardous waste and toxic substances.
Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, like other utilities, periodically encounter petroleum or other chemical releases associated with current or previous operations. The Utilities report and take action on these releases when and as required by applicable law and regulations. The Utilities believe the costs of responding to such releases identified to date will not have a material effect, individually or in the aggregate, on Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
Former Molokai Electric Company generation site.  In 1989, Maui Electric acquired Molokai Electric Company. Molokai Electric Company had sold its former generation site (Site) in 1983, but continued to operate at the Site under a lease until 1985. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has since identified environmental impacts in the subsurface soil at the Site. In cooperation with the DOH and EPA, Maui Electric further investigated the Site and the Adjacent Parcel to determine the extent of impacts of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), residual fuel oils and other subsurface contaminants. Maui Electric has a reserve balance of $2.7 million as of June 30, 2020, representing the probable and reasonably estimable undiscounted cost for remediation of the Site and the Adjacent Parcel; however, final costs of remediation will depend on the cleanup approach implemented.
Pearl Harbor sediment study. In July 2014, the U.S. Navy notified Hawaiian Electric of the Navy’s determination that Hawaiian Electric is a Potentially Responsible Party responsible for the costs of investigation and cleanup of PCB contamination in sediment in the area offshore of the Waiau Power Plant as part of the Pearl Harbor Superfund Site. Hawaiian Electric was also required by the EPA to assess potential sources and extent of PCB contamination onshore at Waiau Power Plant.
As of June 30, 2020, the reserve account balance recorded by Hawaiian Electric to address the PCB contamination was $4.8 million. The reserve balance represents the probable and reasonably estimable undiscounted cost for the onshore investigation and the remediation of PCB contamination in the offshore sediment. The final remediation costs will depend on the potential onshore source control requirements and actual offshore cleanup costs.
Regulatory proceedings
Decoupling. Decoupling is a regulatory model that is intended to provide the Utilities with financial stability and facilitate meeting the State of Hawaii’s goals to transition to a clean energy economy and achieve an aggressive renewable portfolio standard. The decoupling mechanism has the following major components: (1) monthly revenue balancing account (RBA) revenues or refunds for the difference between PUC-approved target revenues and recorded adjusted revenues, which delinks revenues from kilowatthour sales, (2) rate adjustment mechanism (RAM) revenues for escalation in certain O&M expenses and rate base changes, (3) major project interim recovery (MPIR) component, (4) performance incentive mechanisms (PIMs), and (5) an earnings sharing mechanism, which would provide for a reduction of revenues between rate cases in the event the utility exceeds the return on average common equity (ROACE) allowed in its most recent rate case. The requirement for triennial general rate cases under the decoupling mechanism was terminated by the PUC on April 29, 2020.
Rate adjustment mechanism. The RAM is based on the lesser of: a) an inflationary adjustment for certain O&M expenses and return on investment for certain rate base changes, or b) cumulative annual compounded increase in Gross Domestic Product Price Index applied to annualized target revenues (the RAM Cap). Annualized target revenues reset upon the issuance of an interim or final decision and order (D&O) in a rate case. All Utilities were limited to the RAM Cap in 2020.
Major project interim recovery. On April 27, 2017, the PUC issued an order that provided guidelines for interim recovery of revenues to support major projects placed in service between general rate cases.
Projects eligible for recovery through the MPIR adjustment mechanism are major projects (i.e., projects with capital expenditures net of customer contributions in excess of $2.5 million), including, but not restricted to, renewable energy, energy efficiency, utility scale generation, grid modernization and smaller qualifying projects grouped into programs for review. The MPIR adjustment mechanism provides the opportunity to recover revenues for approved costs of eligible projects placed in service between general rate cases wherein cost recovery is limited by a revenue cap and is not provided by other effective recovery mechanisms. The request for PUC approval must include a business case, and all costs that are allowed to be recovered through the MPIR adjustment mechanism must be offset by any related benefits. The guidelines provide for accrual of revenues approved for recovery upon in-service date to be collected from customers through the annual RBA tariff. Capital projects that are not recovered through the MPIR would be included in the RAM and be subject to the RAM Cap, until the next rate case when the Utilities would request recovery in base rates.
The 2019 approved MPIR amounts for Schofield Generating Station of $19.8 million (which accrued effective January 1, 2019), included the 2019 return on project amount (up to the capped amount) in rate base, depreciation and incremental O&M expenses, are collected from June 2020 through May 2021.
The PUC approved the Utilities’ requests for MPIR recovery of the cost of the Grid Modernization Strategy Phase 1 project and West Loch Photovoltaic (PV) project in March and December 2019, respectively. On June 5, 2020, the Utilities submitted 2020 MPIR amounts totaling $23.6 million for the Schofield Generation Station ($19.2 million), West Loch PV project ($3.8 million) and Grid Modernization Strategy Phase 1 project ($0.6 million for all three utilities) for the accrual of revenues effective January 1, 2020, that included the 2020 return on project amount (up to the capped amount) in rate base, depreciation and incremental O&M expenses, for collection from June 2021 through May 2022, subject to PUC review.
Performance incentive mechanisms. The PUC has established the following PIMs:
Service Quality performance incentives are measured on a calendar-year basis. The PIM tariff requires the performance targets, deadbands and the amount of maximum financial incentives used to determine the PIM financial incentive levels for each of the PIMs to be re-determined upon issuance of an interim or final order in a general rate case for each utility.
Service Reliability Performance measured by System Average Interruption Duration and Frequency Indexes (penalties only). Target performance is based on each utility’s historical 10-year average performance with a deadband of one standard deviation. The maximum penalty for each performance index is 20 basis points applied to the common equity share of each respective utility’s approved rate base (or maximum penalties of approximately $6.8 million - for both indices in total for the three utilities).
Call Center Performance measured by the percentage of calls answered within 30 seconds. Target performance is based on the annual average performance for each utility for the most recent 8 quarters with a deadband of 3% above and below the target. The maximum penalty or reward is 8 basis points applied to the common equity share of each respective utility’s approved rate base (or maximum penalties or rewards of approximately $1.4 million - in total for the three utilities).
In December 2019, the Utilities accrued $0.3 million in estimated rewards for call center performance, net of service reliability penalties, for 2019. The net service quality performance rewards related to 2019 was reflected in the 2020 annual decoupling filing and increased customer rates in the period June 1, 2020 through May 31, 2021.
Procurement of low-cost variable renewable resources through the request for proposal process in 2018 is measured by comparison of the procurement price to target prices. The incentive is a percentage of the savings determined by comparing procured price to a target of 11.5 cents per kilowatt-hour for renewable projects with storage capability and 9.5 cents per kilowatt-hour for energy-only renewable projects. Half of the incentive was earned upon PUC approval of the PPAs and the other half is eligible to be earned in the year following the in-service date of the projects and is dependent on the amount of energy the Utilities receive from the facilities. The total amount of the incentive the Utilities are eligible for is capped at $3.5 million. Based on the seven PPAs approved in 2019, the Utilities recognized $1.7 million in 2019.
On October 9, 2019, the PUC issued an order establishing PIMs for the Utilities with regards to the Variable Renewable Dispatchable Generation and Energy Storage requests for proposals (RFPs) as well as the Delivery of Grid Services via Customer-sited Distributed Energy Resources RFPs that were issued on August 22, 2019 for Oahu, Maui and Hawaii island. The order establishes pricing thresholds, timelines to complete contracting, and other performance criteria for the performance incentive eligibility. The PIMs provide incentives only without penalties. The earliest the Utilities would be eligible for a PIM pursuant to this order is upon PUC approval of executed contracts resulting from the Phase 2 RFPs. The order requires contracts under the Grid Service RFP be filed for approval by May 2020 (subsequently extended to July 9, 2020), and by September 2020 under the Renewable RFPs, with a declining PIM for projects that are not filed by these deadlines. On July 9, 2020, the Utilities filed two Grid Service Purchase Agreements for the Grid Service RFP, which qualify for PIMs, however, details of the incentive metrics will be determined by PUC.

Performance-based regulation proceeding. On April 18, 2018, the PUC issued an order, instituting a proceeding to investigate performance-based regulation (PBR). The PUC stated that PBR seeks to utilize both revenue adjustment mechanisms and performance mechanisms to more strongly align utilities’ incentives with customer interests.
The order stated that, in general, the PUC is interested in ratemaking elements and/or mechanisms that result in:
Greater cost control and reduced rate volatility;
Efficient investment and allocation of resources regardless of classification as capital or operating expense;
Fair distribution of risks between utilities and customers; and
Fulfillment of State policy goals.
The proceeding has two phases. Phase 1 examined the current regulatory framework and identified those areas of utility performance that are deserving of further focus in Phase 2. In May 2019, the PUC issued an order concluding Phase 1, which established guiding principles, regulatory goals, and priority outcomes to guide the development of the PBR mechanisms in Phase 2. The PUC identified the following guiding principles, which will inform the development of the PBR framework: 1) a customer-centric approach, 2) administrative efficiency to reduce regulatory burdens; and 3) utility financial integrity to maintain the utility’s financial health. Priority goals (and priority outcomes) identified by the PUC were: enhance customer experience (affordability, reliability, interconnection experience, and customer engagement), improve utility performance (cost control, distributed energy resources (DER) asset effectiveness, and grid investment efficiency), and advance societal outcomes (capital formation, customer equity, greenhouse gas reduction, electrification of transportation, and resilience).
The order also outlined the PUC’s vision of a comprehensive PBR framework that would be further developed in Phase 2. The framework envisioned would include 1) a five-year multi-year rate plan with an index-driven annual revenue adjustment based on an inflation factor, an X-factor which would encompass productivity, a Z-factor to account for exceptional circumstances not in the utility’s control and a customer dividend, 2) a symmetric earnings sharing mechanism that would help ensure that utility earnings do not excessively benefit or suffer from external factors outside of utility control or unforeseen results of regulatory mechanisms, 3) off-ramp provisions, 4) continuation of the RBA, MPIR adjustment mechanism, the pension and OPEB tracking mechanism, and other recovery mechanisms, and 5) a portfolio of performance incentive mechanisms for customer engagement and DER asset effectiveness (rewards only), and interconnection experience (both rewards and penalties), in addition to scorecards to track progress against targeted performance levels, shared savings mechanisms to apportion savings to the utility and customers, and reported metrics.
The Phase 2 schedule included working group meetings through the first half of 2020, followed by statements of positions that were filed in June 2020. The remainder of the Phase 2 schedule includes discovery, reply statements of positions in August 2020, an evidentiary hearing in September 2020 and anticipated decision in December 2020. The latest procedural schedule includes steps after the Phase 2 D&O “to review and approve PBR tariffs.”
Most recent rate proceedings.
Hawaiian Electric 2020 test year rate case. On May 27, 2020, Hawaiian Electric and the Consumer Advocate filed a Stipulated Settlement Letter, documenting a global settlement of all issues in this rate case. The Parties agreed that as a result of this settlement agreement, there will be no increase in electric revenues over the revenues established in the 2017 test year rate case. The settlement agreement is subject to PUC approval.
On May 13, 2020, the PUC issued its Final Report on the Management Audit, which recommended various operational and organizational changes intended to better manage costs and provide value to customers. The report also recommended a three-year timeframe to ramp up to a sustained $25 million in annual savings by the end of 2022, split between capital (approximately 80%) and O&M (approximately 20%). In its statement of position on the management audit filed on June 17, 2020, Hawaiian Electric committed to deliver these savings to customers over time through a proposal it later submitted in its statement of position in the PBR proceeding. The PUC’s decisions on the settlement agreement and on the remaining procedural steps in this proceeding are pending.
Hawaii Electric Light 2019 test year rate case. On September 24, 2019, Hawaii Electric Light and the Consumer Advocate filed a Stipulated Partial Settlement Letter which documented agreements reached on all of the issues in the proceeding, except for the ROACE, capital structure, amortization period for the state investment tax credit, and automatic annual target heat rate adjustment. On November 13, 2019, the PUC issued an interim decision maintaining Hawaii Electric Light’s revenues at current effective rates based on an interim revenue requirement of $387 million, average rate base of $534 million, and a 7.52% return on rate base (RORB) that incorporates a ROACE of 9.5% and 58.0% total equity ratio, and tariffs became effective January 1, 2020 . On July 28, 2020, the PUC issued an order, approving the Stipulated Partial Settlement Letter in part and ordering final rates for the 2019 test year to remain at current effective rates such that there is a zero increase in rates. The PUC determined that an appropriate ROACE for the 2019 test year is 9.5%, approved a capital structure of 58% total equity and approved as fair a 7.52% RORB. In addition, the order, among others, (1) approved a 10-year amortization period for the state investment tax credit; and (2) approved a modification to Hawaii Electric Light’s ECRC to incorporate a 98%/2% risk-sharing split between customers and Hawaii Electric Light with an annual maximum exposure cap
of +/- $600,000. Hawaii Electric Light is to submit proposed final tariffs and a revised ECRC tariff for the PUC’s review within 30 days of this order.
Maui Electric 2021 test year rate case. By an order issued on April 29, 2020, the PUC terminated the requirement of a mandatory triennial rate case cycle that was established in the Decoupling final D&O, and indicated Maui Electric is not required to file a 2021 test year rate case. Maui Electric does not intend to file a 2021 test year rate case.
Regulatory assets for COVID-19 related expenses. On April 22, 2020, the Utilities filed a request to the PUC for deferral treatment of COVID-19 related expenses, including higher bad debt expense and write-offs, higher financing costs and other expenses. On May 4, 2020, the PUC issued an order, authorizing all utilities, including the Utilities, to establish regulatory assets to record costs resulting from the suspension of disconnections of service during the pendency of the Governor’s Emergency Proclamation and until otherwise ordered by the PUC. In future proceedings, the PUC will consider the reasonableness of the costs, the appropriate period of recovery, any amount of carrying costs thereon, and any savings directly attributable to suspension of disconnects, and other related matters. As part of the order, the PUC prohibits the Utilities from charging late payment fees on past due payments. On June 30, 2020, the PUC issued an order on the Utilities request for deferral treatment of COVID-19 related expenses through December 31, 2020, and allowed the Utilities to file application to request an extension of the deferral period beyond December 31, 2020. Beginning on July 31, 2020, the Utilities are required to file quarterly reports to update the Utilities’ financial condition, measures in place to assist their customers during the COVID-19 emergency situation, identifying the planned deferred costs and details for the deferred costs, and identifying funds received or benefits received that have resulted from the COVID-19 emergency period. As of June 30, 2020, the Utilities recorded a total of $6.5 million in regulatory assets pursuant to the order.
