Hawaiian Electric has issued a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) watch as an approaching high pressure system could bring strong trade winds and downsloping winds, increasing the risk of vegetation drying out and heightening wildfire concerns.
The company remains on elevated alert and is prepared to implement a power shutoff if necessary to ensure public safety. The PSPS watch status will continue while monitoring weather conditions.

Hawaiian Electric previously responded to an outage affecting 1,170 customers in the Waiau area and clarified it was not a PSPS event, according to a company update. The firm also restored power to all Waikiki customers after a separate outage, confirming again the incident was unrelated to a Public Safety Power Shutoff in a recent report. The current PSPS watch marks a shift as the utility weighs proactive power shutoffs due to wildfire risk.
