Power outages affected about 1,000 customers in the Kahala area, including the Kahala Mall, and 1,650 customers in Kaneohe this afternoon.
The outage in Kahala started shortly before 2 p.m. Electricity was restored to the Kahala area customers by early evening, according to Hawaiian Electric spokesperson Darren Pai.
In Kaneohe, power went out at about 3 p.m and was partially restored by 4:30 p.m. Crews returned electricity to the remaining 650 customers about 6:10 p.m.
Pai said the outages were caused by a broken insulator on a power line.
Traffic lights were out at Likelike and Kahekili highways, police said.

HECO doing this intentionally so residents will support the NextEra acquisition. NextEra has seen a small company they feel they can easily take over and make a profit on us. This is what has happened when they have acquired other companies on the mainland.
HECO is like a restaurant with bad food and can’t pass the Health. Dept. inspection.
