Oahu outage update: majority restored, 1.5K remain without power

Sep 09, 2026

A storm knocked out power to thousands of Oahu customers, and most have their lights back on — bad news for the 1,500 homes still waiting.

  • About 21,000 customers lost power on Oahu during the storm.
  • Most service has been restored, but roughly 1,500 are still in the dark.
  • The storm also shut down a major highway across all four lanes overnight.
  • The highway reopened in the afternoon.

Outlook: Crews are working through the last outages, so the remaining customers should be back on soon.
