Hawaiian Electric says Star-Advertiser corrects report it sought approval for 500-MW Oahu power plant
Reuters2026/08/07 01:00- Hawaiian Electric said a Honolulu Star-Advertiser story was corrected after inaccurately stating it sought approval to build a 500-megawatt power plant.
- The utility said it did not ask Hawaii’s Public Utilities Commission to approve construction of a 500 MW plant.
- The PUC instead ordered analyses to show whether up to 500 MW of new 24/7 firm capacity on Oahu is needed before expanding procurement.
- Hawaiian Electric said JERA is pursuing a 500 MW plant proposal outside the competitive bidding process, via a sole-source arrangement backed by the State Energy Office.

Crude oil is "coming back", but refined oil is "not coming back"; the global refining gap is widening.
According to Goldman Sachs, global refined oil exports have declined by about 6 million barrels per day year-on-year, with the Gulf region and Russia contributing three-quarters of the decrease. Unlike crude oil, which can be rerouted, damaged refineries cannot be relocated, and the Gulf region's refined oil exports have only recovered to 40% of pre-war levels. Goldman Sachs expects global refinery utilization rates to recover only by the second half of 2027; based on this, it has more than doubled its forecast for diesel profit margins in 2027.
