- Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. operates as an electric utility serving 95% of Hawaii's population through the production, purchase, transmission, distribution, and sale of electricity on the islands of Oahu, Maui, Hawaii Island, Lanai, and Molokai; its subsidiaries include Maui Electric Company and Hawaii Electric Light Company. The company offers core services such as customer renewable energy programs including Smart Renewable Energy, Customer Grid Supply, and Smart Export; electric vehicle charging infrastructure with expanded fast chargers; advanced metering; business account services; and grid modernization initiatives supporting rooftop solar, battery storage, and net-zero carbon emissions goals by 2045. Founded in 1891 and headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii, Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. provides geographic focus exclusively within Hawaii, targeting residential, commercial, resort, U.S. Armed Forces, and agricultural customers while partnering with independent power producers for clean energy projects like the Waiau Power Plant repowering with combustion turbines. In recent developments, its parent Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. advances divestment of Pacific Current LLC assets, including the April 2025 sale of solar and battery storage facilities on Kauai, Oahu, and Maui to Epic Star Energy alongside a prior March 2025 Hamakua Energy facility transaction, streamlining operations toward core utility focus; the company expands public EV charging from 25 to 50 sites per a June 2025 Public Utilities Commission order with upgraded branded fast chargers; and introduces streamlined rooftop solar incentives under the Smart Renewable Energy program approved in 2024 to enhance grid resilience and renewable integration.
