On April 27, 2020, the MRC submitted comments on Hawaiian Electric's Transmittal of a Draft Microgrid Services Tariff. The MRC supports the Commission's efforts to develop a tariff that responds to the unique capabilities and characteristics of microgrids, and has participated in a working group effort to make recommendations to the Utility Companies - Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. ("HECO"), Hawai'i Electric Light Company, Inc. ("HELCO"), and Maui Electric Company, Limited ("MECO"). 

While the MRC supports the Commission's efforts to develop a tariff that responds to the unique capabilities and characteristics of microgrids, we do not feel that the utility companies (HECO, HELCO, and MECO) presented a draft tariff to the commission that respected or resembled the working group's suggestions.
