Hawaiian Electric serves about 95% of Hawaii’s electricity customers, so its path matters for most of the state’s 1.4 million people. In 2025, HEI’s utility also faces a system with rising wildfire, resilience, and integration costs, making each investment choice a step toward or away from the 2045 target.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"sub-highlight-box\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sub-highlight-icon\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/cdn\/shop\/files\/SOAR-Content-Aspirations-Icon-Color-1.svg\" alt=\"Icon\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRehabilitation of Financial Stability and Credit Ratings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sub-highlight-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2025, HEI kept the common dividend at $0.00 as it worked to repair the balance sheet after the Maui wildfire settlement and restore an investment-grade profile.
