HONOLULU, Feb. 8, 2026 - Hawaiian Electric crews and contractors continue to restore power to thousands of customers on Oahu, Hawaii Island and in Maui County affected by powerful winds and severe weather. Customers should continue to prepare for possible outages due to the ongoing stormy conditions.

As of noon:

• Oahu: Nearly 9,850 customers are without power in areas including Nanakuli, Makakilo, Aiea, Kalihi, Honolulu and Manoa. More than 10,000 customers have been restored.
• Hawaii Island: About 160 customers are without power in areas including Hilo and along the Hamakua coast. More than 1,500 customers have been restored
• Maui County: About 350 customers are without power. Crews are addressing pocket outages, primarily on Molokai and Upcountry Maui. About 1,100 customers have been restored.

More than 150 Hawaiian Electric crews and contractors are working across our service territory to address outages, mostly caused by trees and weather-related debris blown into our power lines. Work to restore customers will continue throughout the day as long as weather conditions remain safe to do so. Restoration may be delayed in some areas due to high winds.

Because of the dynamic nature of the storm system, outage numbers represent a snapshot in time and are subject to change as additional customers are restored and more outages occur, sometimes in the same area. Customers can track current outages at hawaiianelectric.com/outagemap and on the mobile app. Outages can also be reported through the app.

Hawaiian Electric understands that customers need to know when their power will be restored and is working to keep outage maps and social media updated with information as it becomes available.

The company's priorities for restoration emphasize safety and essential community services. Restoration also will take place in a manner designed to affect the greatest number of customers first.

If you are without power and see downed lines, this is the likely cause of the outage in your neighborhood. For your safety, always treat downed power lines as energized and dangerous, and stay at least 30 feet or more away from the lines. Customers should call 911 or our Trouble Lines (listed below) to report dangerous situations, such as downed power lines or sparking electrical equipment. Please help us keep phone lines open for emergencies at this time.
