Power back after exactly 1 hour.
Probably a planned outage.

I have the HECO Android App on my phone.  The power here in Mililani was out a couple weeks ago from about 9:00pm until midnight, give or take.

I got ZERO notices from HECO.  I did, however, get notices from the Spectrum app telling me their network was down at the beginning of the power outage, and that they were up again when the power came on.

The HECO app is useful if you use it to REPORT or view existing outages, but the notifications suck.  You can also view your bill on it.

Just something to look into if interested.

As KHON2’s Always Investigating reports, replacement power projects are
behind schedule due to unexpected global events with supply chain issues,
so Oahu residents should prepare to pay even more for electricity this fall.

In the meantime, consumers can either cut back on power, try solar and
batteries, or pay more for oil-generated power — which costs as much as
five times more than coal.

LOL!  "Unexpected!?"  If it's a Hawaii-run project, any delay and cost overrun is 100% EXPECTED!

Trust the government to solve all your problems.  They almost never fail!  [/barf]

Why not keep the coal plant operational until alternative energy is up and running?
Our politicians say: No can, too bad, too sad. They will not reverse their green agenda.
They helped to create this awful situation. Home owners will just have to suffer, renters will
pay more. Businesses will have to pass on the costs to consumers. Replacing one fossil fuel
(coal) with another more expensive one (OIL) is pupule. 

Many nations all over the planet are switching to coal since it is the cheapest source of energy.
China has recently completed the world's largest clean coal power plant or so they claim.
The US is still shipping large amounts of coal to China. Germany, Austria, and other nations
have found the green agenda does not work and they will use more coal.
Mean while Putin is reducing energy sales to Europe.

Comparing the shut down of the coal fired plant in Kapolei to the worlds coal users is like
comparing a bucket of sand to Waikiki beach. Inflation is punishing everyone and higher energy costs
will cause even more suffering. Our local politicians lack the will and compassion to help the people
thru hard times like these.

Hawaii's infrastructure is crumbling.  Green Energy not going work.  The politicians talk sh*t but they dunno what they doing.

When the infrastructure collapses everybody going look at each other and point finger.

IIRC the Coal plant is switching to Diesel.
I don't give a shit about Honolulu
I hope y'all starve and can't even burn wood to keep warm.
What does piss me off is you think you rule all the islands.

When was the last time you spent any time somewhere other than your island? 

I've been on Oahu since 1992, and I can't remember a single time I needed to burn cola, oil or wood to "keep warm."

Even though HECO corporation provides 95% of power in the state, each county has its own power production operations center.  On Hawaii Island (that's "The Big Island" for anyone not keeping up), the operations are managed by HELCO.  Those are the people responsible for your power plants.  HECO is responsible for Oahu.  I don't think either operations division tells the others what to do or what to charge.  Your bill reflects the cost to produce and distribute electricity in Hawaii County.  Oahu's problems have nothing to do with it.

BTW, HELCO is using wind and hydroelectric to "go green," whereas HECO/Oahu os creating a large number of solar farms to "go green" here.

What happens when climate change dictates that the wind dies and the sun won't shine.

Do we go back to coal and oil again? ;)

According to the extremists, we just die off, because we deserve it for causing the disaster.
