  • Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO) Hawaiian Electric Contribution Ensures Historic Preservation Work Continues



Hawaiian Electric contribution ensures historic preservation work continues

Hawaiian Electric has donated $10,000 to the nonprofit Historic Hawaiʻi Foundation to support the preservation of historic buildings, objects, communities and sites related to the history of Hawaiʻi.

Nearly 700 sites and buildings are listed on the Hawaiʻi Register of Historic Places, and the State also has more than 300 historic properties designated on the National Register of Historic Places. To provide the public access to this information, Historic Hawaiʻi Foundation has digitized and made the listings available electronically on the organization's website.

Historic Hawai‘i Foundation also brings attention to historic properties in danger of being lost. In late 2013, three Oʻahu facilities were added to the list of most endangered historic places: the ʻEwa Plantation Cemetery in ʻEwa Beach, the Board of Water Supply buildings on Beretania Street, and Fisherman's Wharf in Kewalo Basin Harbor. The intent of the list is to rally community support to ensure these landmarks are protected.

Founded in 1974, the Historic Hawaiʻi Foundation is a statewide nonprofit funded by more than 800 members dedicated to saving historic places in Hawaiʻi. To become a member or to donate to the Historic Hawaiʻi Foundation, visit historichawaii.org.





About Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO)
For more than 100 years, Hawaiian Electric Company has provided the energy that has fueled the islands' development from a Hawaiian kingdom to a modern state. Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (HECO), and its subsidiaries, Maui Electric Company, Ltd. (MECO), and Hawaii Electric Light Company, Inc. (HELCO), serves 95% of the state's 1.2 million residents on the islands of O`ahu, Maui, Hawai`i Island, Lana`i and Moloka`i.

The energy we use is an essential but limited resource necessary to maintaining our quality of life. In a changing world, Hawaiian Electric has evolved to offer more than electricity.

Today, the company also provides energy solutions to help customers save money and use energy more efficiently. Hawaiian Electric also continues to pursue the use of more clean, renewable energy alternatives to help ensure a sustainable future for our islands.

COMMUNITY COMMITMENT

Hawaiian Electric Company is dedicated to our community in which we live, work and serve. Rooted in Hawaii and one of the largest companies in the State, Hawaiian Electric takes the concept of malama pono -- to care for and serve -- to heart. The company and our employees have a long tradition of contributing with dollars, time and talent. Corporate citizenship is crucial to Hawaiian Electric's overall business plan because strong communities are essential to the success of the company, our employees and our customers.

Company and employee volunteerism is encouraged and every month, employees walk, run or provide manpower to dozens of non-profits throughout the State. Hawaiian Electric's corporate giving philosophy gives priority to projects that help families, promote education and protect the environment.

The company also sponsors robotics programs and events that promote STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) education, as well as the SunPower for Schools program bringing solar electric power to select schools, the Solar Sprint event where students design, build and race cars using solar power, and the Home Energy Challenge, a school-based competition encouraging elementary school students and their families to reduce energy use at home, among other programs.

For nearly a decade, Hawaiian Electric volunteers have provided manpower, bucket trucks and ladders to install Christmas lights at the Kaimuki Community Park and playground before the annual Kaimuki Christmas Parade in December.
