More than 7500 in-need Hawaiian Electric residential customers across Hawaiʻi received $8.1 million in federal credits to reduce their energy bills.

The credits came from the Hawaiʻi Department of Human Services’(DHS) Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or LIHEAP.

The $8.1 million includes additional monies for applicants through various COVID relief funds. The minimum Energy Credit was $550, and the amount of the credit varies each year based on factors including income level, total number of people per eligible household and available funds. For the Energy Crisis Intervention credit, the amount varies depending on the customer’s past due balance.

LIHEAP Energy Credit applications are taken annually during the month of June by Honolulu Community Action Program, Maui Economic Opportunity and Hawaiʻi County Economic Opportunity Council. LIHEAP Energy Crisis Intervention applications are accepted year-round for households facing service disconnection, but there is a limited number of approvals granted each month. For more information visit hawaiianelectric.com/liheap.
