Hawai‘i

As a small island state with non-energy intensive industries and a mild climate, Hawai‘i ranks almost last for both total and per capita energy consumption among all states. The state was the first to legally commit to a zero-emissions economy by 2045 and has decreased emissions by 19% from 2005-2021. Both in-state electricity generation and consumption are dominated by petroleum, with about one-fifth of generation coming from renewables, a majority of which is solar. Hawai‘i has the highest average electricity price of any state because of high fuel import costs.
