COVID-19 Updates

COVID-19 Response for Businesses

Hawaiian Electric wants our business customers to know that we're here to support them as the state begins its economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.

Hawaiian Electric's operations have returned to normal with a few exceptions. Our walk-in payment centers will remain closed until further notice.

We understand that many business customers are financially strained as a result of COVID-19, and we’re committed to working with them to weather this downturn. Here is some helpful information:

REQUEST PAYMENT ARRANGEMENT

Customers who are having difficulty paying their bills due to the coronavirus pandemic are encouraged to visit the company's online customer care center to submit a payment arrangement request. You can also contact representatives on Oahu, 548-7311; Maui, 871-9777; Molokai and Lanai, 1-877-871-8461; Hilo, 969-6999; Kona, 329-3584; or Waimea, 885-4605.

NOTIFY HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC OF SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN ENERGY USE

An estimate based on the previous month's usage may not align with a business' current usage, which may have changed due to the coronavirus pandemic. If actual usage has significantly declined due to changes in operations, Hawaiian Electric encourages businesses to request a revised bill estimate for your current circumstances at www.hawaiianelectric.com/CommercialBillEstimate or call the company to better reflect an estimate of the businesses' usage. Once meter reading resumes, the bills will be adjusted to ensure businesses are charged only for the electricity used.

SERVICE DISCONNECTIONS SUSPENDED

Service disconnections are suspended through Sept. 1, an extension from May 17. If a company receives a notice from Hawaiian Electric before July 31 that threatens to disconnect service, it's a scam and should be ignored.

WALK-IN CUSTOMER PAYMENT CENTERS CLOSED

Walk-in customer payment centers will remain closed until further notice. The following options are available for customer payments:

Mail in payments
Utilize our online bill payment service (no charge)
Sign-up for Automatic Bill Payment (no charge)
