Hawaiian Electric is installing a network of weather stations in wildfire-prone areas to provide key information about wind, temperature and humidity to help the company better predict and respond to fire weather conditions.
Hawaiian Electric has given a total of $141,500 in donations this holiday season to more than a dozen local nonprofit groups and educational organizations that contribute to the cultural enrichment, education, and health and welfare of Hawaii keiki and families across the state.
As part of its transition to using more renewable energy and cutting carbon emissions to power Maui, Hawaiian Electric’s plans to build a new switchyard and make equipment modifications to two of the four retiring oil-firing generating units at the Kahului Power Plant were recently approved by the Public Utilities Commission.
Maui nurses will receive essential education opportunities from a recent $10,000 grant provided by Hawaiian Electric to the Maui Nurses Scholarship Fund. Provided through the Hawaiian Electric Industries Charitable Fund, the donation will enable continued education, clinical learning, and license renewals for active and clinical nurses in the Maui Health System and students in the University of Hawaii at Maui College nursing program.
Hawaiian Electric has restored service for all reported power outages caused by the recent storm.
Crews restored service to about 190 customers scattered throughout the upper and lower Puna areas and in north and south Kona today. More than 50 utility personnel consisting of assessment teams and crews from Hawaii Island and Oahu have been working to identify and repair damages caused by the storm.
Hawaiian Electric has restored service for the majority of Hawaii Island customers impacted by the storm system that brought damaging winds and flooding to the state earlier this week.
About 3,000 customers across Hawaiian Electric’s service territory who experienced an extended outage following the recent storm had electricity restored thanks to nonstop work by repair crews, technicians and system operators on Oahu, Maui and Hawaii Island. As of noon, about 950 customers remain without power, mainly in the Puna and Kona areas of Hawaii Island.
Hawaiian Electric crews will need to make emergency repairs in the Peahi area requiring a scheduled outage affecting about 1,900 customers from Peahi to East Maui, this evening, Dec. 8, from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. tomorrow.
About eight buildings in downtown Honolulu will remain without electricity at least through tonight. Hawaiian Electric crews have been working to repair high-voltage underground cables that were damaged by flooding during Monday’s torrential rain.
More than 200 Hawaiian Electric repair crew members, technicians and system operators are working non-stop on three islands to restore electricity to the last groups of customers still without power after windstorms and torrential rain caused damage across the state.
