The company expects to complete repairs today on the majority of remaining customers without power on Oʻahu and on Maui.

About 1,900 remain without power. Maui had nine transmission/subtransmission lines affected by the storm and six (67%) have been restored.

About 1,450 customers were restored this afternoon and about 6,000 are currently without power. Crews are focused tonight on restoring a majority of remaining customers in Kula. Customers in the Alaluana, Olinda, Pi‘iholo, and parts of Hā‘ikū are being asked to prepare for an overnight outage as large, downed trees are being cleared to provide access and repairs continue to be made to downed lines and poles. Crews are also working on remaining pocket outages in West, Central, and East Maui, Moloka‘i and Lāna‘i.

As of 8 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 16, 2026, approximately 7,000 remain without power on Maui in areas of Kula, Hā‘ikū, Olinda and Pi‘iholo. These areas were impacted by large downed trees and debris. A few remaining spot outages remain on West Maui, Central and South Maui.

Hawaiian Electric crews are continuing inspections and repairs in flooded areas of Oʻahu. In some North Shore neighborhoods, crews have seen stains or lines on homes that show how high the floodwaters rose.

Hawaiian Electric has restored power to almost all customers who were impacted by back-to-back Kona low weather systems. These systems have pummeled the state with gusty winds, heavy rains and catastrophic flooding since March 11.

Hawaiian Electric crews continue to assess circuits that were proactively turned off Friday due to catastrophic flooding in the North Shore area of Oʻahu. On Maui, about 100 customers are without power. Two crews are working in Hāna to address storm-related pocket outages.

About 3,300 customers in the North Shore, O‘ahu flood zone are expected to remain without electricity until assessment and repairs can be completed. On Maui, crews are currently responding to an outage in the Waihe‘e area affecting about 1,000 customers.

About 400 customers remain without power islandwide as crews continue working on restorations. Hawaiian Electric is contacting some customers who should prepare for their outage to extend into next week due to the forecasted storm conditions. Some key repairs involve helicopter use and crews hiking into certain areas, which will need to be stopped in adverse weather and potential flooding.

Crews are still working to restore about 1,000 customers without power. About 240 of these customers are in East Maui and are experiencing extended outages that could last several days pending favorable weather conditions as crews must repair 20 damaged poles and multiple spans of downed lines.

Crews restored the majority of Kula customers from Lower Kula Highway to Keokea Place. More than 3,500 customers were restored today, however, about 2,400 customers remain without power. In Kīhei, mud and debris are being cleared to inspect and make any repairs to underground facilities that could restore 600 customers. In East Maui, including pockets of Ha‘ikū, about 300 customers should continue to prepare for extended overnight outages due to ongoing damage assessments and repairs.

About 7,300 customers, or 10% of total customers, remain out in various areas, including Upcountry, South, and East Maui. Crews restored more than half of the 20,000 customers impacted by the storm across the county throughout the day. Damage assessments and potential repairs are being stalled due to flash flooding, downed trees, and road closures like the one caused by a massive sinkhole in South Maui.

About 10,000 customers remain out in various areas as crews restored half of affected customers in parts of South and Upcountry Maui this morning. Crews rerouted service to about 4,000 South Maui customers who lost power due to a large sinkhole along S. Kīhei Road around 4:50 a.m. today.

Customers across Oʻahu, Maui County and Hawaiʻi Island are asked to continue to plan for possible extended outages, potentially overnight, as the powerful storm system is expected to make its way across the island chain throughout the weekend.

Hawaiian Electric has re-energized all West Maui circuits impacted by the Public Safety Power Shutoff program. At this time, all customers who can have power restored safely should have electricity. However, a PSPS Watch remains in effect for parts of Maui and Hawaiʻi Island.

In Maui County, crews are working to restore power to approximately 470 customers, primarily in Upcountry Maui and Molokaʻi. About 50 customers in Olinda will remain without power overnight due to the severe wind gusts and falling trees in the area.

Crews are repairing a broken pole and downed lines in the Pi‘iholo, Upcountry area to restore about 230 customers and are also responding to other pocket outages.
