Hawaiian Electric today announced actions it is taking as part of its Wildfire Safety Strategy, particularly in drought-stricken areas at elevated risk for wildfires.
Hawaiian Electric restored additional circuits today in West Maui, picking up customers along the Kaanapali Coast, including many of the hotels, resorts and condominiums that had been without electricity since Tuesday.
Hawaiian Electric restoration efforts continue today with more than 300 Hawaiian Electric employees and contractors working to safely bring power back to communities in West Maui and Upcountry.
Hawaiian Electric has restored power to one of three main transmission lines serving West Maui and restored service to some customers in Napili, Puukolii, and Mahinahina where essential public services, such as water pumps, and first responder facilities are located.
In continued coordination with State and County emergency response efforts, Hawaiian Electric crews today are continuing to make repairs in areas that are safe and accessible.
Hawaiian Electric Industries (HEI) (NYSE: HE) has pledged to donate $100,000 to support relief efforts relating to the wildfires on Maui.
Hawaiian Electric is asking West Maui customers without power to plan for extended outages that could last several weeks in some areas as crews are currently focusing on ensuring safety and supporting State and County emergency response efforts, which is prioritizing the clearing and maintaining access to impacted areas in West Maui today.
Hawaiian Electric is asking for continued patience from affected West Maui and Upcountry customers without power and for affected customers to plan for extended outages as access to many impacted areas is limited due to safety and emergency response concerns.
As high winds continue to impact the electrical system on Maui, Hawaiian Electric is asking currently affected customers in West Maui and Upcountry to potentially prepare for an extended outage into the late evening as crews are working to complete extensive repairs in these areas.
Hawaiian Electric will upgrade its transmission line on Highway 19 (Hawaii Belt Road) between mile markers 37 and 38 in Paauilo starting Monday, Aug. 7. One lane will be closed from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays.
Customers randomly selected to participate in a pilot program to test time-of-use rates, which have the potential to reduce bills and cut greenhouse gas emissions from power generation, will begin receiving notifications the week of July 31.
