Hawaiian Electric Co. said Wednesday its February electric bills will mark a four-year low as the fuel market continues to bring prices down for isle residents.

The bill for a typical household using 600 kilowatt-hours on Oahu will be $177.45 in February, down $9.77 from January, according to HECO, the state’s largest utility provider with service to Oahu, Maui and Hawaii Island.

Reflecting the decrease in oil prices, the February electricity rate on Oahu fell to 27.9 cents per kilowatt-hour from 29.5 cents a kilowatt-hour in January.

Maui Electric Co. customers using 600 kilowatt-hours of electricity will pay $198.78, down from $220.24 in January.

 The typical household bill for Hawaii Electric Light Co. customers on the Big Island will be $214.71, down from $227.20.
