The Lahaina Energy Partnership (LEP) will host two virtual community presentations in October to share the results of technical assistance provided by the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) in support of Lahaina’s long-term energy planning and recovery.

The presentations will provide community members and stakeholders an opportunity to hear directly from NLR technical leads, learn about the findings developed through the technical assistance process, ask questions, and hear about next steps for the Lahaina Energy Partnership.

The virtual presentations will take place:

Tuesday, October 6, 2026 | 5:30–7:30 p.m. HST
Topics will include the resource potential of clean energy generation technologies, including solar, agrivoltaics, pumped-storage hydropower, and waste-to-energy, as well as building energy modeling.

Tuesday, October 20, 2026 | 5:30–7:30 p.m. HT
Topics will include microgrids and electric grid hardening.

Both presentations will be held virtually through the same zoom link provided.

The Lahaina Energy Partnership is a community-led collaboration between Lahaina Strong, Hā Sustainability, Shake Energy Collaborative, and the National Laboratory of the Rockies. The partnership is intended to help ensure that Lahaina’s energy planning and recovery efforts reflect community priorities, values, and a shared vision for the community’s energy future.

The technical assistance builds on community engagement and co-design activities conducted throughout the partnership, during which community priorities and questions helped inform the areas of technical analysis. The October presentations will bring the results of that work back to the community as this phase of technical assistance concludes and the partnership moves into implementation planning.

Each presentation will include a welcome, technical results presentations, time for questions and discussion, and an overview of next steps.

Community members, local organizations, businesses, agencies, and other stakeholders interested in Lahaina’s energy future are encouraged to participate.
