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.
