The only reason for this is because the grid is too stupid to handle predict where it is needed most. Some upgrades to meters and communication would fix it. But I feel Hawaii isn't really based on fixing any renewable problems I mean Helco in Hilo still runs off old steam turbines that are out dated and not very efficient. Efficient is a dirty word to Helco. What would it take to scrap the hilo plant for a gas Propane fired power plant?
