City Council Tackles Rising Energy Costs | Honolulu News

City leaders are launching a 75-day energy vulnerability assessment to slash rising costs across departments—from TheBus and TheHandi-Van to police and fire fleets—while boosting efficiency to meet climate goals. The review will audit fuel pricing, track energy use, and evaluate contracts, all aimed at cutting expenses before they balloon. Meanwhile, 80+ facilities are getting solar panels and smarter lighting to shield taxpayers from future hikes, as the city also pauses—but still prioritizes—plans for resilient community hubs to prepare for climate shocks.
