Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO) serves approximately 95% of Hawaii's population across Oahu, Maui County, and Hawaii Island. Hawaii has the highest electricity rates in the United States, primarily due to its dependence on imported petroleum for power generation.
HECO operates under regulation by the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission. The company is aggressively transitioning to renewable energy, with a goal of 100% renewable energy by 2045.
Hawaii's isolation means most fuel must be shipped in, adding significant costs. The Energy Cost Adjustment Clause (ECAC) on your bill fluctuates with oil prices. However, Hawaii's abundant sunshine makes rooftop solar an excellent investment—many customers have reduced their bills by 70-90% with solar panels.
