HAWAII PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION APPROVES HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC’S $250M UTILITY ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE CREDIT FACILITY
HONOLULU – On June 27, 2024 Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (Hawaiian Electric), a subsidiary of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (NYSE - HE) (HEI), received approval from the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) for an asset-based lending facility credit agreement (ABL Credit Facility Agreement) that allows short-term borrowings of up to $250 million on a revolving basis using certain accounts receivable as collateral. The ABL Credit Facility Agreement is described in detail in HEI’s form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 23, 2024.
“We appreciate the PUC’s approval on the expedited schedule Hawaiian Electric had requested. An accounts receivable facility is a tool commonly used by utilities to support their financing needs, and this will help support the important operational work underway by Hawaiian Electric to support safety, resilience and reliability. Hawaiian Electric continues to prudently manage liquidity as we work through the timing and impacts of litigation related to the Maui wildfires, and this facility provides them with additional flexibility,” said Scott Seu, HEI president and CEO.
The PUC’s approval is described in detail in its Decision and Order (number 40866) issued on June 27, 2024, available publicly on the PUC’s website at
