Hawaii completes assessment of Oahu energy system and critical infrastructure
December 29, 2023
The Hawaii State Energy Office (HSEO) recently concluded work on an initiative called the O‘ahu Energy System and Critical Infrastructure Vulnerability and Resiliency Assessment.
The assessment involved a comprehensive hazard and risk assessment of O’ahu’s critical energy infrastructure (CEI), including major supply, distribution, and demand networks. It also identified interdependencies with community lifelines, such as hospitals, first responders, water/wastewater, or shelters. The assessment was funded by the Federal Energy Management Agency’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.
