Energy Resources in Hawaii

Hawaii Quick Energy Facts

• Petroleum provides nearly nine-tenths of all energy consumed in Hawaii.

• The transportation sector leads energy demand in Hawaii, due in large part to heavy jet fuel use by military installations and commercial airlines.

• Petroleum-fired power plants supply more than three-fourths of Hawaii’s electricity generation.
