(thriving people and abundant land)
At Sustʻāinable Molokai, we’re committed to a resilient, clean energy future—rooted in community, culture, and aloha ʻāina. From household conservation efforts to island-wide planning, our energy initiatives center the voice of Molokai residents every step of the way.
Inspired by the Molokai Clean Energy Initiative (MCEI) that ended in 2015, the Molokai Clean Energy Hui was launched initially as a two-year pilot program in October 2020 and has morphed into a trusted table for community members to learn, share manaʻo, and take part in shaping our energy future. Guided by Molokai values, MCEH builds on the legacy of the Molokai Clean Energy Initiative and continues the vision with island-wide collaboration and aims to help Molokai become the resilient, clean energy community we all want to share.

Hui Up! helps our island become more sustainable by providing Molokai residents the opportunity (and financial incentive) to exchange old appliances for new energy-efficient ones and reduce our island’s carbon footprint through energy conservation. The program provides Molokai residents with access to new energy efficient appliances by shipping them straight to Kaunakakai and holding the exchange on island in a central location. Participants can drop off their old appliance and pick up their new one through an easy drive-by style exchange coordinated by SM, or pay for delivery.
This makes energy efficient appliances affordable for local families through bulk purchasing at wholesale prices, alleviating shipping costs, and applying Hawaiʻi Energy rebates. Energy efficient appliances also help reduce our electric usage and therefore our electric bills.
