HECO Notice

Maui advisory: We will continue to use unmanned aircraft, or drones, for aerial inspections of our infrastructure in Napili and Puukolii on Thursday, May 8, 2025, as well as in Kula on Friday, May 9, 2025, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on both days, weather permitting.

The inspections are performed at the poles and power lines and no one will request to enter a home or business. There may be instances where the operator may need to enter private property, like a yard, to access a utility pole. In these instances, the operator will make their presence known before accessing the equipment on private property. Electric service will not be impacted.

The Hawaiian Electric Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) program is in full compliance with all Federal Aviation Administration rules and has developed safety, training, operating and privacy procedures to make sure the unmanned aircraft are flown with the highest regard for the safety of the public and crews.

Mahalo for your patience and understanding.
