This is ridiculous. HECO’s lack of preparation and proper infrastructure investment is not the public’s problem. The company should be forced by the state to make the necessary upgrades to the grid that should have been done long ago and the costs of the upgrades should be coming out of investors pockets not customers.
It is a public problem because it is the public that suffers from prolonged power outages.
@@roythousand13the problem was caused by decisions prioritizing investor returns over customer safety and regular maintenance. The public did not cause the problem and should not be the one to pay for it.
@CerebralEnema , HECO is not going to take a loss. They will pass the cost of the loss to us consumers.
@@roythousand13I’m pretty sure cerebralenema said that already.
@@charly3575 , when did he say that?
Denial of service: The new normal.
ALWAYS question what the government is up to & the corps that they give tax payer money too. Usually they are up to NO good. The electric company & govt are in cahoots with each other. ALL part of the sinister Great reset agenda. They are pushing people to get expensive solar panels.
An easy fix to prevent power black outs due to "high winds" would be to simply put the powerlines underground. YET NO talk about this. THIS is about power & control over citizens to 'save the planet". Mean while the politicans & govt officals fly in their private jets, never get their power shut or or send their own kids to war.
Rolling blackouts like when Enron took the state of California to the bank.
Just like in Maui, they'll disable all emergency systems ensuring the fire burns everything to the ground.
on purpose yep

Prices still going up!! Yet they are doing less!! COVID excuses. And after they burnt Maui now they try to act like they care. Why do you have line Maintenance/ line clearance
bad idea no matter which way you slice it.. how about clearing the dry brush instead?
idk why they always overthink things and make it more complicated than it needs to be.
Un exseptable westside coast people need to stand up together.
So HECO admits that they are the source of wildfires?? Aren't they refusing to take responsibility in Lahaina? Why's it Leeward Coast? And DAYS?? Man if Hawaii had a spine....
HECO was sued because of Maui fires, so they had to come up with this protocol. Maybe people should've thought about how HECO would do before they sued!
@@roythousand13 you can't possibly be defending or sympathetic to HECO are you??
@@shwnshts9469I don’t think he’s sympathetic to HECO but it is one way for them to dig their way to keeping profits. By charging all of the rest of us. Where did you think the money was going to come from? Cost is always passed along to the ones at the bottom, the customers.
We all get to be without electricity, and learn to be happy (Karl Schwab of WEF ... learn to be happy with nothing) ... due to corrupt politicians over the past decades pocketing our taxes ... rather than always upgrading the system.
Bring back the coal!!!!
HECo should really consider billing their customers for lost revenues every time they shut the power off.
This would be a very Pono thing to do in order to keep their profits up.
What? Who's paying who for what now?
So charge us extra for their fuck ups?
I hope HECO at least sends out a text warning.
Oahu has the power grid of a 3rd world country. It's time for the Governor and the Legislature to force HECO the change that.
Are you going to pay for the upgrades?
@@roythousand13 Yes, we all will.
@@Palanibert , 👍
@@roythousand13I believe we already do with the high cost of electricity we pay for. NO
@auwayz420 , my HECO bill this month is $194! This is only the beginning. HECO is raising prices due to the lawsuits over Maui.
I Love my solar power !
And rain catchment...
Freedom !
HECO sucks!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They should keep it short as possible.
Better not shut down Kahala.
especially kahala
Well everyone don't pay your electric bill
You do know if you don’t pay the electricity bill they shut off your access to ANY electricity, right? RIGHT?
@@charly3575 eat some carrots
It sucks tremendously, although the alternative is a entire community being reduced to ashes such as Lahaina.
Most people who haven't experienced a wildfire will probably be extremely angry at HECO for this message.
I live off the grid. I trust my own power sources.
Limit people at resorts from Wifi. Shouldn’t be on internet while on vacation.

Hawaii shuttered its last remaining coal-fired power station on Thursday, a major milestone in the state’s ambitious effort to transition to 100 percent renewable energy by 2045.
The station, the Barbers Point Power Plant near Kalaeloa, in southwest Oahu, provided more than 11 percent of the state’s electricity in 2021, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. It was also known as AES Hawaii Power Plant. 🤬
Thats bad for electric vehicle owners.
People complained that HECO didn't have this plan in place before the Maui fires. Now HECO is rolling out that plan here in Oahu, and this what it looks like in practice with extended outages- and people still complain. Ask and you shall receive. You cannot have it both ways.
We could have kept H-power supplied with coal. But offend the green agenda? Oh noooooooo!
It's nothing new though, several States on the mainland that have severe wildfire risks have adopted this plan to punish the consumers instead fixing the problem. After decades of increasing taxes still no modernization of the infrastructure has been done and they keep adding more stuff that over burdens the aging grid. But don't worry as the peasants have no power for hours or days meanwhile the elites will still have theirs.
So dumb so that goes for the people who pays the electricity wow
BS
SB
keep voting democrat
