UH M?noa's College of Engineering, with the support of Hawaiian Electric Company, has been awarded a $2.5-million American Recovery and Reinvestment Act stimulus grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to train students and current workers for emerging jobs in clean and renewable energy technologies in the electric power industry.
Officially titled, “Integrated Education and Research in Clean Energy and Island Sustainability,” the project is a major component of UH M?noa’s Renewable Energy and Island Sustainability (REIS) program. Led by Electrical Engineering Professor Anthony Kuh, REIS seeks to establish a prominent national and international program in renewable energy at the university. UH M?noa will use these funds to create a multi-disciplinary program of formal courses and hands-on research experience in clean energy technologies, renewable energy production, energy storage, integration and smart grid technologies.
