Hawaii has some of lowest per capita energy use in the nation due to its mild tropical climate, which is moderated by steady trade winds and the surrounding ocean.

More than 80% of Hawaii's energy comes from petroleum, making it the most petroleum-dependent state in the nation.

Hawaii has the highest retail electricity prices in the nation due to its isolated electric grids and heavy dependence on imported petroleum.

COMPASS SYMBOL

Each state has been given a unique symbol, which provides an overview of the state’s energy profile in terms of its infastructure, resources and market. The symbols allow you to compare and contrast these key indicators and explore connections among the states.

Compass Symbol Parts

Points of interest & HIGHLIGHTS

All states and regions include additional facts and highlights contained above the region or state summary as well as within Points of Interest indicated on the map.

Points of Interest Parts
Topic Icons

These icons are used on Points of Interest (map pins) or on the Fact Highlights area above each region or state description. These icons further classify what the information is about. All Highlights and Points of Interest fall into one of the following types:

  • Oil
  • Gas
  • Hydro
  • Solar
  • Nuclear
  • Other Renewable
  • Infrastructure
  • Economy
  • Energy
  • Electricity
  • Coal
Points of Interest

Across every regional and state map, you will be able to hover over map points, called Points of Interest, that reveal more details about the energy in that area. Points of Interest combine topic symbols and category colors to indicate subject matter.

Category Colors (Key Identifiers)
These colors are applied to all icons throughout the experience and correlate to various key indicators. These colors are also consistent to the compass rankings (with the exception of policy, which is not ranked). All topics (Highlights and Points of Interest) fall into one of these four categories:
