"Hawaiian Electric Resolves Emergency Outages Across Islands"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Big Island Now
Hawaiian Electric initiated rolling outages on Hawai‘i Island due to a generation shortfall, affecting about 25,500 customers, but has since lifted the request to conserve electricity and restored power to all affected customers. The outages were caused by two turbine units going offline, resulting in the need to shed load and force power outages around the island. The utility is addressing the issues and responding to outages, with the impacted areas and timing of outages based on electric demand.
