Hawaiian Electric, in response to the Lahaina blaze, aims to triple its investment in wildfire risk mitigation, revising its original plan to allocate more resources to upgrades and technologies. The company seeks partial funding from the U.S. Department of Energy and plans to contribute up to $75 million to a fund for victims' families. State and federal investigations into the fire are ongoing, with subpoenas issued to local agencies.
