Payment Assistance

Hawaiian Electric offers many programs to help a variety of customers in need. We provide programs for those that may qualify as low income or those with special medical needs, as well as a practical way for you to provide a helping hand to friends and family.


Payment Arrangement

Payment Arrangement

Customers who are having difficulty paying their electric bill are urged to contact Customer Service so payment options and schedules can be arranged to help keep payments manageable. While customers will still be responsible for paying their electric bills, payment schedules and other options can help ease the financial challenges. The quickest way to start the process is to fill out and submit a Payment Arrangement Request Form.
