Hawaii Electric Light Company’s mission is to provide secure, clean energy for Hawaii. Over the years, Hawaii Electric Light Company has provided energy to over 80,000 customers on the island of Hawai`i. In 1970, Hawaii Electric Light Company was purchased by Hawaiian Electric Company. Hawaii Electric Light Company generates over 1 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity each year and utilizes clean energy sources to generate nearly 50% of that amount (46.7% in 2012).
