Connecticut-based company then
known as Citizens Utilities.
Before email and the Internet,
corporate headquarters required a
steady stream of paper reports and
updates from Kaua‘i. These reports
sometimes included photos of ongoing
utility work as well as construction of
homes, resorts and commercial
enterprises that represented sales
opportunities for the electric company.
Much of that documentary work fell
to Tad Eto, a camera buff and former
newsman. Officially, he was the utility’s
industrial relations manager, but he
spent much of his time shooting
pictures and tracking down items for the
company newsletter, which he typed up,
laid out and distributed by hand.

“He was at heart an old-school
journalist and loved documenting
everything about Kauai Electric with his
set of Olympus SLR bodies, lenses and
filters,” recalled Ed Nakaya, KIUC’s key
accounts executive, who once shared
office space with Eto at the old KE office
in Eleele.
“He seemed to have an open account
at Senda Photo at the corner of Hardy
and Akahi streets to have his prints
developed. And, of course, he had his
one-of-a-kind, wide- carriage, smallcharacter manual typewriter that he
pecked on with his two-handed, onefinger style.”

Eto meticulously kept a numbering
system for hundreds of envelopes filled
mostly with negatives, but the master
key to his system has yet to be
discovered, meaning we may never know
what the envelopes bearing the numbers
432 or 126 contain.
Hundreds of loose, unlabeled photos
from the 1970s through the 1990s
capture everything from retirement
parties to storm repairs.
And then there are the unlabeled
slides stored in old carousels—an
ingenious projector system sold by
Kodak in the 1960s. Whether these
carousels contain historical society gold
or documentation of a diesel generator
overhaul in 1972 is yet to be
determined.
We hope you enjoy these photos.

Inside KIUC
From the Chairman
One of the most important jobs of the elected board of the
cooperative is to plan for the future.
We are constantly challenged to look ahead. We consider
data about everything—interest rates, fuel prices, visitor
arrivals, population trends, energy efficiency, plant
emissions, even local building permits—to help us make the
best decisions about allocating the resources of the
cooperative well into the future.
Our staff and consultants have done a remarkable job the
past several years estimating how much electricity we think
we are going to sell. The explosive growth in residential
photovoltaic systems has made forecasting more challenging,
but we haven’t been surprised by any of the numbers yet.
In 2013, sales of electricity were off just 0.4 percent from
2012—very close to our forecast. In 2014, we budgeted our
sales to decline a little less than 1 percent.
Some of this decline is the result of energy-efficiency steps
taken by our members, including their use of solar water
heaters and photovoltaic systems. The average Kaua‘i family
is using about 10 percent less electricity today than in 2007.
Even with all of the new PV systems, there is still increased
demand for electricity from new homes and businesses, as
well as from existing customers.
For example, last summer was especially hot and dry. We
saw the average residential use jump about 5 percent in July,
August and September. As one of our members told us, “I got
PV mostly so I could run the air conditioner without feeling
guilty.”
While the growth of residential PV systems has been fast, it
is not “bankrupting the co-op,” as some have suggested. We
have seen this trend coming for a long time, and we have
planned for it.
The fact is, even with more than 2,100 PV systems planned
or in service by the end of 2013, electricity sales have fallen
only slightly. The recession had a much greater impact on our
revenue than has the expansion of PV.
Even though there are now almost 14 megawatts of
customer-sited solar in service, these systems represented
only 1.7 percent of our total energy output in 2013. That
means the vast majority of these systems are simply
offsetting customers’ own use—air conditioners, washers and
dryers, water heaters, multiple TVs and cable boxes—and not
contributing great amounts of excess energy to the grid.
That is why utility-scale solar projects and battery storage
remain key components of our strategic plan. Our two new
solar projects at Kōloa and Anahola will generate electricity at
around 12 cents a kilowatt-hour—half the price of oil and a
lot less than some people are paying for their PV systems.
12
KIUC CURRENTS
We want all members to benefit from solar energy. KIUC is
still offering $1,000 rebates to members who install a solar
water heater. It is the cheapest, easiest way to save 40 percent
or more on your bill.
If you want to put a PV system on your roof, our Energy
Services Department is available to help answer your
questions and process your paperwork as quickly as possible.
If you want to use the power of the sun, but aren’t sold on
the idea of putting PV on your roof, KIUC will have 19
megawatts of utility-scale solar on the grid by the end of this
year. Another 12 megawatts will come on line next year.
This is all part of our strategic plan to use renewable
resources to supply at least half of Kaua`i’s energy by 2023.
We’re getting there, and we appreciate your support.

Work to Start on $54 Million
Anahola Solar Project
Construction is expected to begin this
spring on a $54 million solar array,
substation and energy storage battery in
Anahola. It is the third large-scale solar
project on Kaua‘i and one of the largest in
Hawai‘i.
KIUC and the Department of
Hawaiian Homelands reached final
agreement in February on a 25-year
lease of 60 acres near the Anahola
Marketplace that will be the site of the
solar array and substation.
The 12-megawatt array will consist of
59,000 panels and other equipment to
be installed by REC Solar. Construction
will employ about 150 workers.
The array—which is expected to be in
operation by early 2015—will supply
about 5 percent of Kaua‘i’s annual energy
needs, or enough energy for 4,000 homes.
During daylight hours, about 20 percent
of the island’s electricity will come from
the Anahola project.
The project will generate electricity at
a cost of about 12 cents per kilowatthour compared to about 24 cents for
electricity created by burning oil. It also
will enable KIUC to reduce its use of oil
14
KIUC CURRENTS
by 1.7 million gallons a year.
“This is a great project for Kaua‘i and
the Anahola community, and I’m glad
that we could partner with DHHL to
make it happen,” said David Bissell,
president and CEO of KIUC. “The
project will provide not only the benefits
of cheaper solar energy, but also
economic benefits to the Native
Hawaiian community.”
In addition to lease payments to
DHHL, the contract between the agency
and KIUC calls for ownership of the
solar array to transfer to DHHL after 25
years. The agency then could negotiate
an agreement to sell electricity to KIUC
or potentially convert the facility to a
micro-grid that would provide power to
beneficiaries in the Anahola region,
depending on the technology available
in the future.
DHHL has the option to end the lease
and have KIUC pay to dismantle the
facility.
A service center and baseyard for
KIUC could be part of the deal. If KIUC
moves ahead with that part of the plan,
5 acres would be used for the service
center, which could include a member
services area for bill-paying and service
inquiries.
The project also includes a lithium-ion
battery system capable of storing 6 MW of
power that can be used when cloud cover
reduces the output of the solar array.
In a separate agreement, KIUC will
provide benefits to the Homestead
Community Development Corporation
for job training and education related to
renewable energy.
KIUC, DHHL and HCDC have been
working together on the Anahola project
since 2011, when it was first presented to
community beneficiaries for their
consideration. Six beneficiary
consultations were held in 2011 and 2012.
About 70 people attended a final
informational briefing conducted by
DHHL in Kapaa on Feb. 6, 2014.
When finished, the Anahola solar
project will be one of three large arrays
generating power for KIUC. The three
arrays—Anahola, Koloa and Port
Allen—will generate 30 MW during the
day, nearly half of the daytime customer
demand.
Members and Community
KIUC is looking for members of the co-op in 2009

Patronage capital, also known as
capital credits, comes from the money a
cooperative has left after paying all of
its expenses in a given year. At the end
of the year, that money is credited to
each member’s patronage capital
account according to the amount paid
for energy used.
If your name appears on the list, you
must apply for your refund. Please

Members Vote to Keep
Meter Opt-Out Fees
Record turnout in special election upholds board decision
The membership of Kaua‘i Island
Utility Cooperative voted
overwhelmingly in January to keep the
fees that are charged to customers who
don’t want to use a smart meter.
With a record 10,901 votes cast out
of 25,205 ballots mailed to members,
74 percent voted to keep the fees.
The turnout was the highest in KIUC
history, with 43 percent of the
members casting a ballot. The previous
record was 34 percent in the 2003
directors’ election, when 7,595
members voted.
“The record voter turnout along with
the big margin for ‘yes’ votes suggests
that the vast majority of members
were engaged, understood what was at
stake and wanted to send a clear
message that they supported the
board’s decision to charge the fees,”
said Allan Smith, chairman of the
KIUC Board of Directors. “We’re
grateful for that support, and we thank
the members on both sides of the issue
who took the time to vote.”
Since November 2013, KIUC has
charged $10.27 a month to customers who
choose not to use a wireless smart meter.
The charge—which was approved by
the Public Utilities Commission in
October 2013—covers the cost of
manually reading the meters. KIUC
also charges one-time fees to
customers who ask to have their meter
switched to anything other than a
smart meter.
Under the cooperative’s bylaws,
members can challenge an action of
the elected board by filing a petition. A
group of members obtained a
sufficient number of signatures on a
petition to put the fee issue to a vote
of the membership.
Members voted by mail, phone and
online between Jan. 4 and Jan. 25. The
election was conducted by Merriman
River Group, a Connecticut-based
election management firm. Counting
was observed by a representative of
the O‘ahu branch of the League of
Women Voters.
Smith said the election cost members
more than $100,000 in direct expenses,
legal bills and staff time, and he believed
the strong turnout indicated most
members were “fed up” with a challenge
to a decision made by the elected board
and affirmed by the PUC.
“While the petitioners may look
upon this as some sort of academic
exercise, a challenge to a board action
is a very serious matter,” Smith said.
“We do not take it lightly. And now, for
the second time in three years, nearly
three-quarters of the members who
voted in a petition election defeated a
challenge of a board action.
“This was a direct rebuke from the
vast majority of members who are
tired of seeing their cooperative’s time
and resources diverted from the No. 1
goal in our strategic plan: cutting their
electric bill.”

KIUC CURRENTS
Every year, KIUC is required by law to provide our ratepayers annual fuel mix and average electric cost information.
HRS [§269-16.4] Annual Fuel Mix Disclosure
(a) Beginning June 1, 2004, and every June 1 thereafter, each retail supplier of electricity shall disclose fuel mix information by generation category to its
existing and new retail electricity customers for the prior calendar year.
(b) Beginning June 1, 2004, and every June 1 thereafter, each retail supplier of electricity shall state the average retail price of electricity (per kilowatthour) for each rate class of service for the prior calendar year. The average retail price of electricity for each rate class of service shall be determined by
dividing the total electric revenues for each rate class of service by the total kilowatt-hours sold to each respective rate class.
(c) The disclosure required by this section shall be:
(1) Printed either on the customer’s bill or as a bill insert; provided that this disclosure requirement shall not result in increased costs to ratepayers; and
(2) Posted and updated on the suppliers Internet website, if any.

Statement of Operations
For the period January 1, 2014, to January 31, 2014
By Karissa Jonas
We are pleased to report that the
KIUC results of operations through Jan.
31, 2014, are favorable. Year-to-date
electricity use on the island is 2 percent
lower than last year. Even with the
decrease in sales volume, KIUC is still
doing everything it can, while
maintaining safety and reliability, to
reduce costs, operate efficiently and
effectively, and continue to maintain a
strong financial position.
Revenues, expenses and net margins
totaled $15.9 million, $14.5 million and
$1.4 million, respectively, for the onemonth period ending Jan. 31.
As is the case for all electric utilities,
the cost of power generation is the
largest expense, totaling $9.5 million or
59.8 percent of revenues.
Commodities—fuel and purchased
power costs—are the largest component
of power generation, totaling $8.2
million or 51.8 percent of revenues.
Currently, fossil fuel is the largest
component of commodities, totaling
$7.3 million or 46.2 percent of revenues.
Other commodities include hydropower,
totaling $0.5 million or 3.1 percent of
revenues, and solar power, totaling $0.4
million or 2.5 percent of revenues. The
remaining $1.3 million or 8 percent of
revenues represents the cost of
operating and maintaining the
generating units.
The cost of operating and maintaining
the electric lines totaled $0.5 million or
3.4 percent of total revenues. The cost
of servicing our members totaled $0.3
million or 1.8 percent of revenues. The
cost of keeping our members informed

costs—which include legislative and
regulatory expenses, engineering,
executive, human resources, safety and
facilities, information services, financial
and corporate services and board of
director expenses—totaled $1.0 million
or 6 percent of revenues.
Being very capital intensive,
depreciation and amortization of the
utility plant costs $1.2 million or 7.4
percent of revenues. Although not
subject to federal income taxes, state and
local taxes amounted to $1.3 million or
8.4 percent of revenues. Interest on
long-term debt, at a favorable sub-5
percent interest rate, totals $0.6 million
or 4 percent of revenues. Revenues less
total expenses equal margins of $1.4
million or 8.9 percent of revenues.
Margins are allocated to consumer
members and paid when appropriate.
