Hawaiian Electric Companies are Already Facing Various Lawsuits

According to NBC News, Maui County, Hawaii, filed a lawsuit in August alleging that Hawaiian Electric Co. and three related companies knew or should have known that their power lines posed a significant fire risk. Specifically, the claim states that the companies left their power lines energized despite warning from the National Weather Service (NWS) that high winds related to Hurricane Dora and dry conditions presented a danger. The County is seeking “just compensation” for the damage caused by the fires.

Additionally, the utilities are facing at least eleven other lawsuits filed by various parties as a result of the fires, including private individuals.
