Supporting Maui and the People of Hawai‘i

A Message from Our CEO

This is our home and we are here to help our communities recover and rebuild - no matter how long it takes.

Hawai‘i is grieving after an unimaginable tragedy. We've all witnessed a devastation that is deeply personal for us at Hawaiian Electric Industries (HEI) - it impacts our friends, our families, our colleagues and our neighbors. As our teams at HEI, Hawaiian Electric and American Savings Bank continue to navigate the impacts of the fires, we will provide updates on this site.

“I want to be clear - we intend to be a strong, dividend-paying company in the future . . . HEI has been an important part of our communities for a very long time, and we intend to be here for a lot longer.”

Hawaiian Electric has informed ATF investigators of the availability of records that demonstrate these facts.”
