They will activate the Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) at around 12 p.m. and shut off power to those areas with high exposure to wildfire risk. One fire by re-energization caused Lahaina fire: ATF report “We sincerely apologize for the disruption. We have activated our PSPS program as a last line of defense to protect lives and reduce the risk of a wildfire,” said Jim Alberts, Hawaiian Electric senior vice president and chief operations officer. “We will continue to monitor conditions closely and restore power as soon as we can safely do so.” The company said the shutoff could last all day and encouraged customers to prepare for the possibility of extended power outages.
