“Pono” is a Hawaiian word meaning “righteousness”. “Pono” helps us to look at the big picture. It helps us determine what is right in the grand scheme of things. Pono is about values and culture and finding rightness and righteousness.
We believe it is right, or pono, to make a positive contribution towards the stewardship of our planet, weaning ourselves off of imported oil, significantly reducing or eliminating greenhouse gases and improving our energy, food and water security. We believe in planning for energy resiliency as a mandatory step towards mitigating the impact of more severe weather events due to climate change and endeavoring to keep our solutions economically competitive as the cost of renewable energy and storage alternatives continue to decline.
Our team of experts can provide services in data analytics, emergency response, financial and economic analysis, organizational excellence/developing high performing organizations, strategic planning, execution, mentorship/coaching, technical writing/documentation, and regulatory support. We will help find the right solution for you. The solution set could include renewable energy plus battery energy storage, micro grids, energy/water resiliency or other creative solutions. We will help to explore rebates, grants, and tax incentives to lower the cost and assist with financing solutions such that there will be little to no cost to you. We will also manage your project from concept to commercial operation.
