Props to KIUC
A huge shoutout to KIUC – Upper Kapahi! Recent storms tested Kauai's power grid, and the swift restoration of service was truly remarkable. Many of us remember a time when even a minor disruption meant extended outages, but yesterday's brief power loss was a welcome surprise. Reports from residents, including sightings of KIUC trucks diligently working through the storm, highlight the significant improvements in infrastructure resilience. While the south side undoubtedly experienced more severe impacts, the overall performance of the grid demonstrates substantial progress. A sincere mahalo to the KIUC workers who braved the elements to keep the lights on for our community—your dedication is appreciated.
