Hot muggy weather coupled with unexpected outages of some power generating stations has prompted HECO to call for quick and concerted conservation efforts... or risk power outages.
Record highs levels of electricity use two days in a row, a 3.3 percent increase over last year's peaks. Honolulu is one power-hungry (and air conditioning dependent) island!
If HECO is not able to provide power to all the island under voluntary conservation, it may have to cut power to blocks of customers for short periods of time... The most crucial hours for conservation are 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
