Hawaii, its biggest power utility and other defendants have reached a tentative agreement to pay more than $4 billion to settle lawsuits stemming from the devastating wildfires in Maui nearly a year ago, Gov. Josh Green announced Friday. The proposed agreement, which must still be approved, would settle approximately 450 lawsuits filed by plaintiffs including homeowners and businesses for fires in Lahaina and Upcountry Maui, Green’s office said.
It is also contingent on the resolution of insurance company claims that have already been paid. The proposed agreement involves seven defendants — the state of Hawaii, County of Maui, Hawaiian Electric, Kamehameha Schools, West Maui Land Co., Hawaiian Telcom and Spectrum/Charter Communications, Green’s office said in a statement. The state’s contribution to the settlement must first be approved by the Legislature. Payments are expected to begin mid-2025, Green said.
