Pending government approval, PGV and Hawaiian Electric have negotiated an amended contract that will regulate power generation at the PGV plant through the year 2052. The Public Utilities Commission, in conjunction with the County of Hawai‘i Planning Department, have requested that PGV prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) in conjunction with consideration of the new contract. The first step in the EIS process is the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement Preparation Notice (EISPN).
