For Hawaii’s Future

Connie Lau: This is an opportunity when our utility combines with NextEra Energy to really have them help us accelerate that movement towards clean energy

What This Means for NextEra Energy

Jim Robo: So, for NextEra Energy, Hawaiian Electric will become the third principal subsidiary within our company. This transaction is very consistent with our core strategy of growing our regulated footprint as well as having other opportunities to invest in the renewables space as well as infrastructure.

Meeting Hawaii’s Clean Energy Needs

Connie Lau: This is a great opportunity for our customers and actually the general public in Hawaii to finally realize the vision of reducing customer bills through actually increasing the amount of renewables here in Hawaii.

Committed to Local Customers, Employees and the Communities We Serve

Jim Robo: Everywhere we do business we are committed to the community, committed to listening to our stakeholders, our customers and our employees. We’re also committed to bringing more renewables to Hawaii, to bringing cleaner energy to Hawaii and to help lower customer bills.

What This Means for HEI Shareholders

Connie Lau: HEI shareholders are going to recognize significant value for their shares at a very attractive premium. And that’s because they are going to get two shares of stock. One will be shares of stock in NextEra Energy, and so they will benefit from the combined strength of both Hawaiian Electric within the NextEra Energy family of companies as their third strategic business unit. And then they will also get a share of stock in American Savings Bank.

A Great Opportunity for Our Employees

Connie Lau: This is a great opportunity for Hawaiian Electric employees because the company is actually going to remain headquartered here. It will also keep the same names, Hawaiian Electric, Maui Electric and Hawaii Electric Light. But, in addition to that, we gain this wonderful partner that has reach across the globe and that provides additional opportunities for our employees outside of Hawaii as well as within.

Jim Robo: One of the things I’m very excited about is getting to meet and know as many Hawaiian Electric employees as I can over the next coming weeks and months. One of the things that has been a hallmark of our success as a company over the last decade has been the quality of our people.
