Hawaiian Electric has completed repairs to its electric systems across Hawaii Island that were damaged by Hurricane Lala. Power has been restored to all customers who can be restored, one week ahead of the previous Sept. 8 estimated timeframe. The remaining outages are likely due to damage to customer property or to access issues, with the exception of Wood Valley in the Kau area.

Crews from Hawaii Island, Oahu, Maui and from Southern California Edison through the Western Region Mutual Assistance Group have made significant progress with repairing utility infrastructure.
Hawaiian Electric crews restored power to about 1,030 customers yesterday on Hawaii Island, including those in Hawaiian Paradise Park. Fewer than 400 customers remain without power. Approximately 99.4% of impacted customers on Hawaii Island have been restored since Hurricane Lala battered the state with high winds and heavy rainfall.

Hawaiian Electric crews continued to make steady progress across Hawaii Island, restoring service to more than 1,400 customers since yesterday as additional equipment and resources arrive to support the ongoing recovery efforts.
Hawaiian Electric crews are gaining momentum on restoring power to customers on Hawaii Island as additional personnel from Oahu and Maui joined crews already on island and mutual assistance workers from California.
Additional Hawaiian Electric employees arrived on Hawaii Island today, including lineworkers, engineering and other support teams from Maui and Oahu, to aid in restoration efforts and help speed recovery. Three newly arrived Oahu crews are working in the Kona area today. Seven additional Oahu crew members will arrive tomorrow in Hilo.
