The Hawai‘i Utility Bill Assistance program was created to help Hawaiʻi residents who are financially affected by the pandemic and who have fallen behind on their payments to electric, water, sewer and gas utilities.

Thousands of residential customers who meet eligibility requirements can receive one-time assistance of funds up to $750. That amount will be paid to one utility or split among several.

Hawaiian Electric is the founding sponsor of this statewide program to help qualifying families recover from the economic hardship caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. many local community members also contributed.

Hawaiian Electric pledged $2 million in shareholder money from its parent company, Hawaiian Electric Industries (HEI), to the Hawai‘i Utility Bill Assistance Program, which is being distributed to the community through Aloha United Way on Oʻahu in partnership with Hawai‘i’s local United Way chapters.
