PUNA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN
MANAGING GROWTH: 3.6 Energy Sustainability
Action 3.6.3.i (page 3-21)
Pursue the development of new renewable energy sources such as Ocean Thermal
Energy Conversion (OTEC), wave-energy generation and solar energy capture as the technology advances to make an investment in such a demonstration and production facility in Puna feasible.
To
facilitate this, pursue an ocean energy subzone or enterprise zone designation for a section of coastal land in Puna, preferably on State land, in order to encourage research and production
of ocean-based alternative energy systems and facilities.
In addition to energy generation, cold water aquaculture and agricultural processing should be encouraged and accommodated,
including refrigerated warehouse and processing facilities, hot-water treatment of agricultural products, and agricultural product washing and packing facilities.
(3.6.1) Goals:
a) Puna has made significant progress towards achieving energy self-sufficiency by 2020.
b) A significant percentage of Puna households continue to live completely or partially off
the electrical power grid.
c) Puna lowers its dependence on fossil fuel as an energy source, becoming a demonstration area for alternative sources, systems and fuels.
d) There are
incentives for the use of renewable energy sources.
(3.6.2) Objectives:
Promote use of solar technologies, such as solar water heaters and photovoltaic power systems.
Employ energy-efficient
design standards for public building and residential development, including ventilation and cooling.
Recognize, when establishing regulatory standards, that while energy efficiency yields
long-term cost savings for low-income households, it may impose added initial construction cost on housing. Accordingly, reduced property tax assessments for self-powered homes and
businesses should be implemented.
