Maui Residential Rebuild Program

A Partnership Between Hawai'i Energy and the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement

Through a partnership between Hawai'i Energy and CNHA, the Maui Residential Rebuild Program offers two main forms of assistance: 

  • No-Cost, ENERGY STAR® Certified Appliances for the most vulnerable and impacted households.

  • Enhanced Rebates for a wide range of energy-efficient measures to help all eligible applicants rebuild sustainably.

Enhanced Rebates

Enhanced rebates for energy-efficient upgrades are available to a broader group of eligible applicants rebuilding their homes. This can include:

  • Homeowners in affected zip codes (96761, 96767, 96790).

  • Those participating in specific rebuilding projects like Ke Ao Maluhia, Kawaipapa, and La'ikū.

  • Custom rebuilding projects pre-approved by Hawai'i Energy.

  • Full eligibility details are in Appendix A of the application.

No Cost Appliances

To qualify for no-cost appliances, applicants must be vetted by CNHA and meet criteria demonstrating significant need. This includes:

  • Loss of a primary residence due to the wildfires.

  • Being underinsured or uninsured.

  • Demonstrated financial hardship.

  • Status as a vulnerable individual or family (e.g., elderly, families with young children, persons with disabilities).
