#PSPS pukalani

Hawaiian Electric is continuing its Public Safety Power Shutoff watch as a wind advisory remains in effect until tomorrow morning. Earlier this afternoon, due to the immediate threat of wildfires from high winds and dry conditions, Hawaiian Electric initiated its PSPS program and proactively shut off power in Pukalani, Maui. Power was restored around 4:30 p.m. as risk conditions lessened. As of 7 p.m., about 10,000 customers remain without power in West Maui. West Maui customers who are currently without power should still prepare for an overnight outage with an estimated restoration time of noon on Monday, Sept. 28.

The County of Maui will open Mayor Hannibal Tavares Community Center’s meeting room in Pukalani as a temporary service site from 4:30 to 10 p.m. today, Sept. 27, to support residents affected by ongoing power outages.

About 11,350 customers remain without power in West Maui, Haʻikū and Upcountry. The majority of the outages are in West Maui with about 10,000 impacted customers. These outages were not a PSPS. An additional 485 customers in the Pukalani area are affected by a PSPS outage.
