Hawaiian Electric has re-energized all West Maui circuits impacted by the Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) 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 Hawaii Island.

For some West Maui customers, additional repairs to address damage on their property may be necessary before service can be restored safely. Crews will inspect and make minor repairs throughout tonight.

Customers who are still without power should call Hawaiian Electric's Trouble Line to report the outage if they haven't already done so at 1-855-304-8181 or hawaiianelectric.com/reportmauicountyoutage.

Although high winds have eased, Hawaiian Electric will continue to closely monitor the weather. If hazardous conditions suddenly return, it may be necessary to shut off the power again in West Maui to reduce the risk of wildfire. A PSPS could also still be possible in other PSPS identified areas in the South Kohala area on Hawaii Island and other parts of Maui, including Upcountry Maui.

Hawaiian Electric continues to coordinate with the Maui Emergency Management Agency and other response authorities. As a safety precaution, customers are reminded to not touch or move any fallen poles, lines or other utility equipment.

For more information and maps, go to hawaiianelectric.com/PSPS or call Hawaiian Electric's PSPS hotline at 1-844-483-8666 toll-free.
