HONOLULU, Sept. 26, 2026 - As Hurricane Nolo tracks slowly westward, Hawaiian Electric crews, contractors and support staff remain ready to respond as conditions allow. With rainfall, flash flooding, thunderstorms and damaging winds forecasted for today, especially for Hawaii Island and Maui, the company continues to encourage customers to prepare through the weekend for possible power outages.

As of 11:30 a.m. today, crews are working to restore power to about 30 Hawaii Island customers in the Lower Puna area. There are currently no major outages in Maui County or on Oahu.

Customers should keep emergency supplies stocked, phones and other essential devices charged, and remain prepared for the possibility of extended outages.

If outages occur, Hawaiian Electric's restoration process is designed to restore power as safely and quickly as possible. Restoration efforts prioritize public safety, critical facilities and repairs that restore power to the greatest number of customers first. Customers can find outage updates, safety information and reporting options at hawaiianelectric.com or through the company's trouble lines:
