Hawaiian Electric has established a permanent program that offers a discounted rate to customers with special medical needs, including those dependent on life-support equipment at home.

The program is available to 2,000 residential customers following regulators on April 1 approving making permanent a pilot Special Medical Needs Rate Program program that began in 2017. It offers a 4 cent discount per kwh up to the first 500 kwh or up to $20.
