Power Outage in Hawaii
POWER OUTAGES: Stolen Stuff Hawaii 12:27 AM HST, 8/18/2026 OAHU: 41,730 customers without power across 577 separate outages. BIG ISLAND: 30,941 customers across 555 outages. MAUI COUNTY: 2,266 customers across 160 outages. KAUAI: 139 of 36,341 customers across 57 outages. STATEWIDE: 75,076 customers without power across 1,349 outages, adding the totals each utility published. That is only 265 fewer than at 7:30 PM. MAUI COUNTY IS THE OVERNIGHT STORY. It is down to 2,266 from about 6,000 at 7 PM by Hawaiian Electric's own count, and from 17,855 at the worst of it Sunday afternoon. Crews there worked Kula and cleared the downed trees that were blocking access to the lines. STATEWIDE BARELY MOVED, AND OAHU IS WHY. Oahu sits at 41,730, close to the roughly 42,450 Hawaiian Electric published for 7 PM. In their words, these counts "represent a snapshot in time and change often as additional customers are restored and more outages occur, sometimes in the same area." The Big Island came down about 7,300 over the same stretch. WHAT CREWS DID OVERNIGHT, from the 8 PM update: damage assessment and transmission repairs on the Big Island, pole repairs across Oahu with neighborhood distribution inspections, and tree clearing in Maui County. CUSTOMERS FROM SALT LAKE TO EAST HONOLULU ARE STILL ASKED TO CONSERVE POWER TODAY. STILL NO COMPLETION ESTIMATE. Hawaiian Electric says it is finishing damage assessments before projecting any timeline. THESE NUMBERS ARE ONLY AS OF 12:27 AM AND CHANGE CONSTANTLY. The maps update every 15 minutes.
