Hawaii power company launches effort to prevent wildfires with advanced outages
Hawaii's largest utility company is launching a new initiative involving advanced power shutoffs in an attempt to prevent wildfires following last year's deadly fires. As part of Hawaiian Electric Co.'s (HECO) "public safety power shutoff program," the company may preemptively shut off power in areas with forecasted high winds and dry conditions, the company announced Wednesday. "This program is our last line of defense to keep communities safe and may result in extended power outages," the company wrote in a statement. The company said it may expand beyond areas of higher wildfire risk factors in the future and hopes to eventually cover "all high-risk areas," it serves.
