Governor Of Hawaii PANICS As Electricity Prices Are The Highest In The US?!

Many households in Hawaii are facing difficult trade-offs as energy costs continue to rise. Electricity rates average around forty-one cents per kilowatt hour—roughly three times the national average—leading a significant share of residents to reduce spending on other essentials to manage monthly power bills.

This video examines how Hawaii’s geographic isolation shapes its energy system. The state relies heavily on imported fuel, with a single major refinery and no direct pipeline connections to the mainland, leaving supply particularly sensitive to disruptions.

If operations at Par Pacific’s Kapolei refinery were to be interrupted, fuel prices could increase substantially, with potential ripple effects on electricity rates across the islands.

We break down the underlying data behind Hawaii’s energy costs and explore what these conditions mean for households already managing a high cost of living.
