Correction for Friday, April 19, 2024
An article published Tuesday incorrectly stated the date of the shutdown of Hamakua Energy. The power producer went offline on Feb. 13. A Hawaiian Electric statement quoted in the article was also made in response to a Monday Public Utilities Commission order, and not a related letter by Oahu lawmakers. The Tribune-Herald apologizes for the error.
