A $4 billion global settlement in principle was agreed over liability for the Aug 8th, 2023, Maui wildfires. Hundreds of lawsuits filed against Hawaiian Electric, Maui County, the state, large landowners and other defendants will be dismissed.
Hawaiian Electric said its portion of the settlement totals $1.99 billion and would “bring greater certainty for the company, enabling it to begin to reestablish the financial stability needed to invest in a sustainable and resilient future for Maui and all Hawai‘i.”
Gov. Josh Green late Friday afternoon announced the “historic settlement to resolve all tort claims arising from the Maui wildfires.”
