There’s a lot of confusion about the company which apparently was formerly known as Hu Honua Bioenergy. It’s the company behind what has ballooned into a $500 million project, with costs that seem to be mounting by the day.

Anyway, here’s the latest confusion.

Pacific Business News reported today on the company’s emergency appeal to the Hawaii Supreme Court, which was filed yesterday.

From PBN:

Honua Ola Bioenergy submitted a filing with the Hawaii Supreme Court Wednesday, requesting the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission vacate its July 9 decision that killed the Hu Honua biomass project.

“We have done everything asked of us by the PUC, including building out the facility to completion as the PUC ordered us to do in 2017, along with training and providing careers to dozens of Big Island residents,” said Warren Lee, president of Honua Ola Bioenergy, in a statement. “We are now ready to produce renewable energy this year and make Hawaii less dependent on fossil fuels. The only thing holding us back and keeping Hawaii from moving forward are these three PUC commissioners [Chairperson James Griffin, Commissioner Jennifer Potter, and Commissioner Leodoloff Asuncion].”

Okay…but…

Here’s the header from the actual motion filed with the Supreme Court. It’s filed on behalf of Hu Honua, not Honua Ola.

And it is signed by five attorneys on behalf of, you guessed it, Hu Honua, and not Honua Ola.

So Who’s Hu and why is Honua Ola getting/taking credit? Since the company formerly known as Hu Honua has never disclosed its corporate structure, it’s hard to get clarity on who (or Hu) is doing what.
