Hawaiian Electric Co announced Friday that it is extending the moratorium on suspending service disconnections for Maui customers behind on their bills through at least July 2 as part of Gov. Josh Green’s extended emergency proclamation after the Aug. 8 wildfires.

Officials say any Maui customers who are behind on their electric bills and receive threats of immediate disconnection should consider the threat a scam.

Customers facing financial hardship are advised to reach out to Hawaiian Electric at (808) 871-9777 to discuss options to keep payments manageable.
