Oahu residents may be paying higher electric bills come January after seeing multiple price increases this year.

Hawaiian Electric Co. (HECO) says it's asking the Public Utilities Commission to approve an increase in electric bills based on inflation and the cost of capital projects. The rate also takes into account adding more renewable energy to the electric grid and the cost of operating power plants.

The meter installers have been to my place 3 times.  Each time they tell me to call a number to reschedule.

Seems like they don't wait forever for me to reschedule before they try again.
