As president and chief executive officer of Hawaii Gas since May 2013, Alicia Moy leads the company in its work to support the positive transformation of Hawaii’s energy landscape and achievement of the state’s renewable energy and decarbonization goals. Under her leadership, the company is keenly focused on lowering the state’s high cost of energy for customers, providing diverse and resilient clean energy solutions, and developing renewable gas projects that are among the best in the nation.
During her tenure, Alicia and her team have pushed forward several innovative and cutting-edge projects that are changing the energy landscape in Hawaii. In 2016, Hawaii Gas established Waihonu Solar Farm, the largest active solar farm on Oahu at the time of its dedication. The project generates a total of 6.5 MW or enough energy to power 1,000 homes. Understanding that diverse energy options are important to the landscape of the state, Hawaii Gas also created the state’s first renewable natural gas project in partnership with the City & County of Honolulu at the Honouliuli Wastewater Treatment Plant. Since the launch in 2018, this award-winning project produces up to 800,000 therms per year, thus eliminating the energy equivalent of 15,000 barrels of oil or the emissions that 400 vehicles would release in a year. Hawaii Gas is actively engaged in expanding its renewable gas portfolio, while also exploring future energy solutions, such as hydrogen, a zero-carbon emission fuel, to meet the state’s carbon neutrality goals.
Prior to joining Hawaii Gas, Alicia was senior vice president at Macquarie. At Macquarie, Alicia oversaw corporate strategy, strategic planning, funding and management of several Macquarie-managed utility companies, including Hawaii Gas.
Alicia has served as a member of the Hawaii Gas board of directors since 2011.

Additionally, Alicia is an Omidyar Fellow and sits on the advisory board for Women in Renewable Energy. Her professional affiliations include Women Corporate Directors, the Hawaii Military Affairs Council, Hawaii Business Roundtable and the Young President’s Organization.
Alicia holds a bachelor’s degree in finance and marketing from the University of Miami and a master’s degree in finance from INSEAD.
