  • Hawaiian Electric continued restoration work on Hawaii Island on Aug. 29, 2026, with several hundred customers still without power after Hurricane Lala.
  • Remaining outages concentrated in hard-to-access areas or tied to damage on customer-owned equipment, slowing re-energization despite repaired utility infrastructure.
  • Wood Valley faced extended disruption after flooding washed out roads and more than a dozen utility poles, requiring rerouted lines and new pole installations.
  • Mutual-aid crews from Oahu, Maui, Hawaii Island, and Southern California Edison supported repairs, targeting remaining “pocket” outages.
