the increase on oahu was primarily due to higher costs for power purchased from outside sources?!? nope. the wind farms are the most expensive power producers outside of heco and it would make sense if they supplied the bulk of the electricity. but they don't. the amount of power the wind farms produce is so small it's inconsequential. aes and kalaeloa produce far cheaper electricity than heco and they produce the bulk of the power from outside sources so it's not them either.

it's heco running their inefficient gas guzzlers in place of more efficient units.
