Public Safety Power Shutoff in effect for ~330 customers
HONOLULU, July 6, 2025 – Approximately 330 customers in parts of Upcountry Maui should prepare to be without power overnight through Monday morning. Hawaiian Electric activated its Public Safety Power Shutoff program due to high winds and dry conditions. Power will remain off until weather conditions improve and crews can inspect lines and equipment in the area as well as make any repairs if needed.
Under its PSPS program, Hawaiian Electric may proactively shut off power in communities with high exposure to wildfire risk during severe weather conditions. Customers in these areas are urged to implement their own emergency plans and prepare for the possibility of extended power outages.
“We know that being without electricity for any amount of time creates an inconvenience for our customers and we apologize for the disruption,” said Jim Alberts, Hawaiian Electric senior vice president and chief operations officer. “We only activate a PSPS as a last line of defense to protect lives and reduce the risk of a wildfire.”
Maps of specific areas on each island that have high wildfire risk and may be subject to a PSPS can be found on Hawaiian Electric’s website. For more information, call Hawaiian Electric’s PSPS hotline at 1-844-483-8666 toll-free or go to hawaiianelectric.com/PSPS.
