New Line Life Podcast: ICYMI: Hawaiian Electric Sets Three-Year Action Plan

Our wildfire mitigation coverage continues with the narrated version of the story, "Hawaiian Electric Sets Three-Year Action Plan," from the May 2025 special report in T&D World's print magazine. This article, which is part of our ICYMI series for the Line Life Podcast, was written by Mark Asano, the director of integrated grid planning for Hawaiian Electric. 

During the episode, he shares details about the four pillars of the utility's 2025-2027 Wildfire Safety Strategy: hardening and redesigning the grid, expanding and improving situational awareness, improving operational practices and strengthening stakeholder and community partnerships. 

To read the full story, visit the Wildfire landing page on the T&D World website. You can also listen to two more audio stories narrated from the wildfire mitigation special report in our ICYMI series on Podbean: A Strategic Approach to Wildfire Risk Mitigation about Quanta Services and LUMA Energy and PGE Takes Holistic Approach to Wildfire Mitigation about Portland General Electric.
