#public utility commission

Famed for its hundreds of twists and turns through lush East Maui rainforests and dozens of one-lane bridges, the Road to Hāna has become infamous for something else — the head-scratching antics of visitors. Tourists have been spotted ignoring “No Parking” signs, failing to pull over for emergency vehicles and sometimes stopping in the middle of the road to take selfies.

Hawaiʻi Gas filed an application with the Hawaiʻi Public Utilities Commission on Friday requesting adjustments to utility gas rates on all islands. The rate increase would provide for increased reliability and energy resiliency and cover operational and maintenance costs that have gone up significantly over the past seven years.
