Release Date: 2/2/2026
HONOLULU, Feb 2, 2026 - Hawaiian Electric continues to restore power to thousands of customers who lost power due to high winds, primarily in Windward Oahu. Most of the outages have been caused by contact between power lines and trees or other plants blown about by strong winds. To ensure power is restored safely, crews have been conducting inspections, making repairs and removing downed tree branches and other vegetation from power lines.
Current forecasts show the weather system continuing to move eastward across the state, and the National Weather Service issued a wind advisory today through 6 a.m. tomorrow. As a result, Hawaiian Electric is monitoring weather conditions on Maui and Hawaii island that may lead to an increased risk of wildfires. If needed to protect public safety, Hawaiian Electric may implement its Public Safety Power Shutoff program to proactively shut off power in communities with high exposure to wildfire risk. PSPS outages are not expected on Oahu.
Outages that are not related to the company's PSPS program could still occur due to high winds and other conditions. Crews continue working to restore weather-related outages that occurred today. These outages were not PSPS related.
For more information and maps, call Hawaiian Electric's PSPS hotline at 1-844-483-8666 toll-free or go to hawaiianelectric.com/PSPS.
