Maui Electric
A sustainable energy future built on commitment and innovation
Providing power to nearly 70,000 customers on Maui, Molokai and Lanai, Maui Electric continues to support Maui Nui’s evolving and growing energy landscape since 1921.
Today, Maui Electric, along with the Hawaiian Electric and Hawaii Electric Light family of companies, is working to provide more reliable, clean and affordable energy to power the islands.
Ahead of the state milestone of 30 percent by 2020, the company reached 34 percent renewable energy in 2017, using a diverse mix of wind, hydroelectricity, biomass and solar, including nearly 12,000 private rooftop solar systems across the county. In moving toward a 100 percent clean energy future and switching from fossil fuel generation, the company is seeking more grid-scale renewable energy projects and investing in a stronger, more resilient electric grid.
At the same time, Maui Electric is working to provide its customers, and communities, with more choices when it comes to managing energy use and participating in this transition to renewables. New options include community-based renewable energy projects, rooftop solar offerings, programs that incentivize people to adjust the way they use energy in their homes or businesses, and adoption of electric vehicles.
To reach these goals, Maui Electric remains committed to empowering the state’s 100 percent renewable energy future, empowering communities and empowering you.
