Hawaiian Electric crews continue to work to restore power to the remaining customers affected by Tropical Storm Hone. As of 10:30 a.m., power has been restored to the following locations:
- On the island of Hawai’i, power has been restored to customers in North Kohala, Volcano, and Punalu’u. Customers in these areas are asked to call the Hawaii Island Trouble Line at 808-969-6666 if they remain without power. Damage assessment is ongoing and crews continue to respond to scattered, isolated outages across the island. Approximately 1,902 customers remain without power. Additional personnel from O’ahu will arrive today to assist with restoration efforts. Crews are working in Upper and Lower Puna, Ahualoa, Honoka’a, and Waimea today.
- On Maui, crews are working to restore power to most of the remaining 64 upcountry customers throughout the day.
- On Oʻahu, about 62 customers are without power in Mililani and Schofield. The company is investigating the cause of the outages.
Restoration progress may be impacted by storm damage, downed trees or other local conditions. Even if customers do not see crews in their area, HECO says it is working to restore power to their communities. In many cases, additional work on the electrical system at other locations is required to restore service.
Gusty winds and heavy rain can partially uproot trees or break off branches that can easily fall and cause new power outages. For your safety, the public is asked to stay at least 30 feet away from downed power lines and assume they are energized and dangerous.
