Hawaiian Electric customers are checking their electricity service as scattered outages affect parts of Hawaii, with most reported disruptions already restored.
Hawaiian Electric customers across Hawaii are monitoring their electricity service on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, following several localized power outages reported during the day.

- Hickam

- Halawa Heights
- Aiea Heights
- Salt Lake
The reported outages in these areas were subsequently restored according to the latest available alerts.

Restoration Efforts
Hawaiian Electric crews continue to respond to outages and work to safely restore electricity service.
The utility maintains separate outage maps for Oahu, Hawaii Island and Maui County, allowing customers to monitor interruptions and restoration information for their area.
Restoration times can vary depending on the cause and location of an outage.
At the latest update, there was no single systemwide restoration time because the remaining outages were scattered rather than part of one large confirmed outage.
Recent Hawaii Power Restoration
Hawaiian Electric has spent much of September completing restoration work following significant storm-related disruptions.
On September 9, the utility said it had restored power to nearly all affected Oahu customers impacted by Hurricane Lowell who could safely be reconnected. Hawaiian Electric also reported that remaining customers on Hawaii Island’s Wood Valley had received electricity following earlier storm damage.
The utility continues to monitor weather conditions and the possibility of additional storms affecting Hawaii.
Customers Can Report Power Outages
Customers who are experiencing an outage should report their specific location to Hawaiian Electric so crews can investigate the interruption.
For Oahu customers, Hawaiian Electric lists 1-855-304-1212 as its trouble line for reporting outages and downed power lines. The utility also provides separate numbers for Hawaii Island and Maui County.
Anyone who encounters a downed power line should stay away from it and treat the line as energized and dangerous.
Cause of Current Outages
The specific causes of the remaining September 23 outages are Not available.
Recent individual outage alerts in Honolulu County listed the cause as unknown.
Hawaiian Electric may provide additional information as crews investigate individual incidents.
Developing Hawaii Power Outage Situation
The HECO outage situation remains dynamic, with electricity service being restored in areas affected earlier in the day while smaller outages may continue to appear.
The latest available data indicates that the number of Hawaiian Electric customers currently without power is relatively small compared with the utility’s overall customer base.
Residents experiencing an outage should check the Hawaiian Electric outage map and report their location directly to the utility.
