Power is back on in Pahala and at Ka'u Hospital, but more than a thousand customers on Hawaii Island are still waiting.

• Crews have brought power back to about 1,500 customers since yesterday morning.
• Roughly 1,400 customers remain in the dark as repairs continue.
• Ka'u Hospital is back online, easing the biggest safety concern in the area.
• Crews are swapping aluminum wires for copper to cut wildfire risk in fire-prone spots.

Outlook: Repairs should continue over the coming days until the remaining customers are back on.
