HONOLULU, Feb. 8, 2026 – Hawaiian Electric crews are making progress restoring power to approximately 11,500 customers on O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Island and in Maui County who were affected by powerful winds and severe weather overnight and early this morning. Customers should continue to prepare for possible outages due to stormy conditions.
As of 9 a.m.:
- Oʻahu: Nearly 7,900 customers are without power in areas including Nānākuli, ʻAiea, Waiau, Kalihi, Honolulu and Mānoa. About 9,600 have been restored.
- Hawaiʻi Island: About 1,400 customers are without power in areas including Hilo and along the Hāmākua coast. Nearly 1,500 restored as of 6 a.m.
- Maui County: Crews are addressing pocket outages, primarily in Upcountry Maui. About 450 customers have been restored.
Hawaiian Electric crews and contractors are working across our service territory to address outages, many caused by trees and weather-related debris blown into our power lines. Our crews will continue to work to restore customers throughout the day as long as weather conditions remain safe to do so.
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.
