HEI consolidated



Recent developments. During the third quarter of 2022, Hawaii's 7-day average
daily COVID-19 case counts continued to decrease and currently remain relative
stable, recently averaging below 200 cases per day (7-day daily average).
Hospitalizations have remained at low levels with approximately 86% of the
state's population with at least one dose, and approximately 46% of the state's
population received the first booster shot as of October 26, 2022.

While economic conditions have improved significantly over the past year as the
Hawaii economy fully reopened, new variants present potential risks to the
ongoing economic recovery. At this time, the Company does not expect that COVID
restrictions will be reinstated, but will continue to monitor the situation and
remains focused on the continued safety and well-being of customers, employees,
their families and the community.

In the third quarter of 2022, driven by increased economic activity as the
tourism industry continues its recovery, the Utility's kWh sales improved
modestly, increasing 1.0% compared to the third quarter of 2021. While the level
of kWh sales does not affect Utility revenues due to decoupling, it may increase
or decrease the price per kWh paid by customers. See "Decoupling" in Note 3 of
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the
decoupling mechanism.

At the Bank, an improving Hawaii economy helped fuel loan growth and has
supported stable credit trends. Loan growth was broad based and required
additional provision for credit losses. However, the additional provision was
more than offset by the release of credit loss reserves as a result of improved
credit quality, resulting in a $0.2 million negative provision for credit losses
in the third quarter of 2022. The higher interest rate environment and higher
earning asset balances benefited net interest income, which increased $5.4
million to $65.7 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to net interest
income in the third quarter of 2021. The increase in net interest income was
partially offset by lower PPP fees and higher cost of funds. The higher interest
rate environment also reduced the fair value of the Bank's investment portfolio,
which was recorded as an other comprehensive loss (see "Transfer of
available-for sale securities to held-to-maturity- subsequent event" in
Note 4 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Over the past few months, inflation has rapidly increased as reflected in the
U.S. Consumer Price Index, which remained elevated at 8.2% in September 2022. In
addition, fuel costs have risen rapidly in the first half of the year. More
recently, fuel prices have moderated; however, they remain at elevated levels,
with fuel costs more than 90% higher than the prior year's quarter. Short-term
interest rates have also increased significantly following the Federal Reserve's
ongoing rate increases to the federal funds target rate. These inflationary
pressures are expected to continue over the near- to medium-term and have led to
higher costs for O&M and capital projects and higher interest expense at the
Utility and HEI, as well as higher compensation and benefits cost at the bank.

For further discussion of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, fuel prices and
other macro-economic factors impacting the Utilities and the Bank, see "Recent
Developments" in the Electric Utility and Bank sections below.

The Company's effective tax rates for the third quarters of 2022 and 2021 were
22% and 18%, respectively. The Company's effective tax rates for the first nine
months of 2022 and 2021 were comparable at 21% and 20%, respectively. The
effective tax rates were higher for the third quarter and the first nine months
of 2022 primarily due to higher non-taxable bank owned life insurance in 2021
and federal research and development tax credit claims in 2021.

Economic conditions.



Note: The statistical data in this section is from public third-party sources
that management believes to be reliable (e.g., Department of Business, Economic
Development and Tourism (DBEDT), University of Hawaii Economic Research
Organization (UHERO), U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Department of Labor and
Industrial Relations (DLIR), Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA), Honolulu Board of
REALTORS® and national and local news media).

By the end of September 2022, the majority of national and state COVID-19
restrictions were lifted and lower case counts across most states led to
stronger demand for travel to Hawaii in the third quarter of 2022. The average
daily passenger count was 14.9% higher than the comparable period in the prior
year, but remained 7.1% below 2019. The recovery in total passenger counts from
the low levels in 2020 thus far has been driven by domestic travelers, with
international travelers remaining at low levels due to higher restrictions for
international travelers, depending on country of origin. In September 2022,
domestic passenger counts were up 18.9% compared to 2019 pre-COVID-19 levels,
while international passenger counts were down 63.9% compared to 2019
pre-COVID-19 levels. On October 11, 2022, Japan eliminated the daily entry cap
into Japan, which had made travel to and from Hawaii more difficult.

Hawaii's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in September 2022 was 3.5%, which
was lower compared to the September 2021 rate of 4.8%. The national unemployment
rate in September 2022 was 3.5% compared to 4.7% in September 2021. Hawaii's
unemployment rate is expected to continue to improve now that restrictions have
been lifted and non-farm jobs are expected to increase this year.

Hawaii real estate activity through September 2022, as indicated by Oahu's home
resale market, increased in the median sales price of 5.1% for condominiums and
4.8% for single-family homes compared to the same period in 2021, with the
September median single-family home price of $1,100,000, slightly below the
record $1,150,000 set in March. The number of closed sales decreased 3.3% for
condominiums and 15.8% for single-family residential homes through the third
quarter of 2022 compared to 2021.

Hawaii's petroleum product prices reflect supply and demand in the Asia-Pacific
region and the price of crude oil in international markets. The price of crude
oil increased significantly from January 2022 through July 2022, but declined in
August 2022.

At its September 21, 2022 meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)
decided to raise the federal funds rate target range to 3%-3.25% and anticipates
ongoing increases as appropriate. The FOMC is still assessing with plans to
adjust their stance on monetary policy depending on the economic outlook to
achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the long
run. The Federal Reserve stated that it will continue to reduce its holdings of
Treasury securities and agency mortgage-backed securities.

The most recent forecast by UHERO, issued on September 23, 2022, forecasts full
year 2022 real GDP growth of 4.4%, an increase in total visitor arrivals of
35.9%, a decrease in real personal income of 5.4%, and an unemployment rate of
4.2%. This forecast anticipates a potential slowdown in recovery due to rising
inflation, fuel costs, and supply chain issues despite the return of Japanese
visitors. However, in the event of a U.S. recession, UHERO believes that Hawaii
is unlikely to suffer as severely compared to the U.S. mainland. Downward risks
are forecasted to include ongoing global economic fallout from Russia's invasion
of Ukraine, possibility of a global recession, and uncertainties of
international and domestic visitor arrivals due to higher travel costs. While
the Company expects economic conditions to remain relatively stable going
forward, it is difficult to predict the future path of the pandemic and global
economy. If economic conditions worsen from current levels or

                                       64
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

remain depressed for an extended period of time, it could have a material unfavorable impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

1 Hamakua Energy's sales to Hawaii Electric Light (a regulated affiliate) are eliminated in consolidation.



The "other" business segment loss includes results of the stand-alone corporate
operations of HEI (including eliminations of intercompany transactions) and ASB
Hawaii, Inc. (ASB Hawaii), as well as the results of Pacific Current, a direct
subsidiary of HEI focused on investing in clean energy and sustainable
infrastructure projects; Pacific Current's indirect subsidiary, Hamakua Energy,
which owns a 60 MW combined cycle power plant that provides electricity to
Hawaii Electric Light; Pacific Current's subsidiaries, Mauo, LLC (Mauo), which
owns solar-plus-storage projects totaling 8.6 MW on five University of Hawaii
campuses, Mahipapa, which owns a 7.5 MW nameplate biomass facility on Kauai,
Alenuihaha Developments, LLC, which owns a collection of renewable energy
assets, Ka'ie'ie Waho Company, LLC, which owns a 6 MW solar photovoltaic system
that provides renewable energy to Kauai Island Utility Cooperative, and
Ka'aipua'a, LLC, which is constructing a wastewater treatment and energy
recovery facility on Hawaii island; as well as eliminations of intercompany
transactions.

                              FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity and capital resources.  As of September 30, 2022, there was no balance
on HEI's revolving credit facility or Hawaiian Electric's revolving credit
facility and the available committed capacities under the facilities were $175
million and $200 million, respectively. At the end of the quarter, HEI and
Hawaiian Electric had approximately $74 million and $98 million of commercial
paper outstanding, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, ASB's unused FHLB
borrowing capacity was approximately $1.9 billion and ASB had unpledged
investment securities of $2.2 billion that were available to be used as
collateral for additional borrowing capacity.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the total amount of available
borrowing capacity (net of commercial paper outstanding) under the Company's
committed lines of credit was approximately $204 million and $321 million,

                                       65
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

respectively.



On September 29, 2021, HEI executed a $125 million private placement, utilizing
a delayed draw feature with two tranches. The first tranche of $75 million was
drawn on December 29, 2021 and the proceeds were primarily used to invest in the
Utilities' equity to support its capital expenditure program and maintain a
Utilities' equity capitalization ratio of approximately 58%. The second and
final tranche of $50 million was drawn on October 26, 2022, to refinance a
portion of $150 million of debt that matures on November 20, 2022.

On September 29, 2022, HEI executed a private placement under which HEI has
authorized the issue and sale of $110 million of unsecured senior notes. The
proceeds totaling $110 million were drawn on November 1, 2022 to refinance a
portion of the $150 million of debt that matures on November 20, 2022. See
Note 5 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information.

On October 20, 2022, HEI entered into a term loan facility in the aggregate
principal amount of $100 million. The term loan facility allows HEI to draw down
proceeds on a delayed basis through March 31, 2023, at which time the term loan
commitment expires. Any borrowings under the facility mature on November 30,
2023. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at Term SOFR, as defined in
the agreement, plus an applicable margin. The term loan was entered into to
prefund $50 million of maturing debt in March 2023 as well as enhance HEI's
liquidity position. See Note 5 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information.

The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents, expected operating cash
flow from subsidiaries, existing credit facilities, and access to the capital
markets will be sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements over the next
twelve months and beyond based on its current business plans. However, the
Company expects that its liquidity will continue to be moderately impacted at
the Utilities due to higher working capital requirements due to lingering
COVID-19 impacts to the local economy and elevated fuel prices. For the
Utilities, the elevated fuel prices have increased the cost of carrying fuel
inventory and have also resulted in higher customer accounts receivable balances
as fuel is consumed and billed to customers. The higher accounts receivable
balance, which has increased $72 million since December 31, 2021, has led to
higher bad debt expense and may result in higher write-offs in the future. As of
September 30, 2022, approximately $30 million of the Utilities' accounts
receivables were over 30 days past due. Of the over 30 days past due amounts,
approximately 20% were on payment plans. The Company commenced its disconnection
process on a tiered basis, starting in the third quarter of 2021, targeting the
oldest and largest balances first, which has reduced the older balances in
arrears over time as payments were made, as well as decreasing the number of
customers in arrears. In addition to the cash flow impact from delayed
collection of accounts receivable, lower kWh sales relative to the level of kWh
sales approved in the last rate case generally result in delayed timing of cash
flows, resulting in higher working capital requirements. At this time, the delay
in customer cash collections has not significantly affected the Company's
liquidity. The Company is prepared to address, if needed, the potential
financing requirement related to the delayed timing of customer collections.

At ASB, liquidity remains at satisfactory levels. ASB's cash and cash
equivalents was $150 million as of September 30, 2022, compared to $251 million
as of December 31, 2021. ASB remains well above the "well capitalized" level
under the FDIC Improvement Act prompt correction action capital category, and
while the economic outlook has improved and is expected to continue to improve,
there are emerging risks from inflation and the tightening of monetary policy
that increases the risk of a recession, as well as ongoing COVID-19 risks, such
as new variants, all of which could create increased uncertainty regarding the
impact on loan performance and the allowance for credit losses.

HEI material cash requirements. HEI's material cash requirements include:
capital expenditures, labor and benefit costs, O&M expenses, fuel and purchase
power costs, and debt and interest payments at the Utilities; investments in
loans and investment securities at the Bank; labor and benefits costs,
shareholder dividends and debt and interest payments at HEI; and HEI equity
contributions to support Pacific Current's sustainable infrastructure
investments.

The Company believes that its ability to generate cash, both internally from
electric utility and banking operations and externally from issuances of equity
and debt securities, as well as bank borrowings, is adequate to maintain
sufficient liquidity to fund its contractual obligations and commercial
commitments, its forecasted capital expenditures and investments, its expected
retirement benefit plan contributions and other short-term and long-term
material cash requirements. However, the economic impact of higher fuel prices,
inflation, higher interest rates, tightening of monetary policy and the ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic, create significant uncertainty, and the Company cannot
predict the future effects that these factors will have on the global, national
or local economy, including the impact on the Company's cost of capital and its
ability to access additional capital, or the future impacts on the Company's
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

The consolidated capital structure of HEI (excluding deposit liabilities and
other bank borrowings) was as follows:

Note: This table does not include Hawaiian Electric's separate commercial paper
issuances and line of credit facilities and draws, which are disclosed below
under "Electric utility-Financial Condition-Liquidity and capital resources."
The maximum amount of HEI's short-term commercial paper borrowings during the
first nine months of 2022 was $80 million. As of September 30, 2022, available
committed capacity under HEI's line of credit facility was $175 million.

On June 27, 2022, Fitch revised HEI's outlook to "Positive" from "Stable" and
affirmed the "BBB" long-term issuer default rating and "F3" short-term issuer
default rating.

There were no new issuances of common stock through the HEI Dividend
Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (DRIP), HEIRSP or the ASB 401(k) Plan in
the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and HEI satisfied the share
purchase requirements of the DRIP, HEIRSP and ASB 401(k) Plan through open
market purchases of its common stock.

For the first nine months of 2022, net cash provided by operating activities of
HEI consolidated was $213 million. Net cash used by investing activities for the
same period was $795 million, primarily due to capital expenditures, ASB's net
increase in loans held for investment, purchases of available-for-sale
investment securities and purchases of loans held for investment, partly offset
by ASB's receipt of investment security repayments and maturities. Net cash
provided by financing activities during this period was $449 million as a result
of several factors, including net increases in ASB's other bank borrowings and
deposit liabilities, net increases in short-term borrowings and issuances of
long-term debt, partly offset by repayment of long-term debt and payment of
common stock dividends. During the first nine months of 2022, Hawaiian Electric
and ASB (through ASB Hawaii) paid cash dividends to HEI of $94 million and $32
million, respectively.

Dividends.  The payout ratios for the first nine months of 2022 and full year
2021 were 63% and 60%, respectively. On February 11, 2022, the HEI Board of
Directors approved a 1 cent increase in the quarterly dividend from $0.34 per
share to $0.35 per share, starting with the dividend in the first quarter of
2022. HEI currently expects to maintain its dividend at its present level;
however, the HEI Board of Directors evaluates the dividend quarterly and
considers many factors in the evaluation including, but not limited to, the
Company's results of operations, the long-term prospects for the Company,
current and expected future economic conditions, including impacts from the
COVID-19 pandemic, and capital investment alternatives.

              MATERIAL ESTIMATES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In preparing financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.



In accordance with SEC Release No. 33-8040, "Cautionary Advice Regarding
Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies," management has identified the
accounting policies it believes to be the most critical to the Company's
financial statements-that is, management believes that these policies are both
the most important to the portrayal of the Company's results of operations and
financial condition, and currently require management's most difficult,
subjective or complex judgments.

For information about these material estimates and critical accounting policies,
in addition to the critical policy discussed below, see pages 45 to 46, 62 to
63, and 76 to 77 of HEI's MD&A included in Part II, Item 7 of HEI's 2021
Form 10-K.

Following are discussions of the results of operations, liquidity and capital resources of the electric utility and bank segments.

Recent developments

See also Recent developments in HEI's MD&A.



In the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, kWh sales volume increased
1.0% and 1.2% compared to the same periods in 2021, respectively. The increase
in kWh sales is primarily due to continued recovery of the economy and tourism
activity.

Fuel costs have risen rapidly and have increased 92% over prior year's quarter.
Although the Utilities are able to pass through fuel costs to customers and have
limited fuel cost exposure through a 2% fuel-cost sharing mechanism
(approximately $3.7 million exposure annually, and the amount the Utilities have
forecasted as a penalty for 2022), higher customer bills could reduce customers'
ability to pay timely or increase the risk of non-payment. In addition, the
higher customer bills may lead the PUC to consider other actions to limit or
delay any proposed increase in rates in order to mitigate the overall bill
impact of rising fuel prices.

In September 2022, the consumer price index moderated to 8.2% from a 40-year
high of 9.1% in June 2022. In Hawaii, the September 2022 Urban Hawaii (Honolulu)
Consumer Price Index (CPI) was modestly lower, with an increase of 6.6% over the
last twelve months. Under the PBR framework, inflation risk for the Utilities is
mitigated by an Annual Rate Adjustment (ARA), which is based on a formula that
includes a compounded and non-compounded portion.

•The compounded portion of the ARA adjustment includes an adjustment for
inflation based on the estimated change in Gross Domestic Product Price Index
(GDPPI) for the upcoming year, less a predetermined annual productivity factor
(currently set at zero), less a 0.22% customer dividend, applied to a basis
equal to test year target revenues plus the RAM Revenue adjustments in effect
prior to the implementation of PBR, plus the prior adjustment year's compounded
portion of the ARA adjustment. The GDPPI adjustment is determined using the
forecasted GDPPI in October, which is effective for the following calendar year.
For the 2022 calendar year, GDPPI was measured at 2.78% (net of the 0.22%
customer dividend) in October 2021 and was effective in rates on January 1,
2022. For the 2023 calendar year, the forecasted 2023 GDPPI of 3.68% (net of the
0.22% customer dividend), measured in October 2022, will be effective in rates
on January 1, 2023.

•The non-compounded portion of the ARA adjustment includes a subtractive component, representing the management audit savings commitment, or refund to customers, which was approved by the PUC for the years 2021 through 2025.



Although accounts receivable increased in the third quarter, past due accounts
receivable balances decreased by $15.7 million, or 23% with a corresponding
decrease in the number of accounts past due decreased by approximately 13% since
December 31, 2021. The increase in accounts receivables was primarily driven by
higher customer bills impacted by the increase in fuel prices, offset by
payments on installment plans, higher cash receipts associated with increased
disconnection efforts and application of the $2 million Kokua bill credit, all
of which contributed to the decrease in the number of customers in arrears. At
this time, the delay in customer cash collections has not significantly affected
the Utilities' liquidity. The Utilities are prepared to address, if needed, the
financing requirement related to the delayed timing of cash flows collected
under the decoupling mechanism through the Revenue Balancing Account and the
impact of higher fuel prices on accounts receivable balances. See "Financial
Condition-Liquidity and capital resources" for additional information.

In the second quarter of 2020, the PUC approved the deferral of certain COVID-19
related costs, such as higher bad debt expense, higher financing costs,
non-collection of late payment fees, increased personal protective equipment
costs, and sequestration costs for mission-critical employees. The Utilities
deferred COVID-19 related costs through a PUC approved period that ended on
December 31, 2021. In the second quarter of 2022, the Utilities filed an
application, which is currently pending, to seek recovery of the COVID-19
deferred costs, not to exceed the amount of $27.8 million. (See discussion under
"Regulatory assets for COVID-19 related costs" in Note 3 of the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements).

In the most recent quarter, case counts and hospitalizations have declined;
however, a worsening of COVID-19 case counts with new variants or a
reinstatement of COVID-19 restrictions could adversely affect the ability of the
Utilities' contractors, suppliers, IPPs, and other business partners to perform
or fulfill their obligations timely, or at all, or require modifications to
existing contracts, which could adversely affect the Utilities' business,
increase expenses, and impact the Utilities' ability to achieve their RPS and
other climate related goals.

Regulatory Developments. On June 17, 2022, the PUC issued a D&O approving (1) a
new (penalty-only) Performance Incentive Mechanism (PIM) to incentivize
achievement of generation-based reliability targets, with an annual maximum
penalty of $1 million, (2) a new (penalty/reward) PIM to incentivize the timely
completion of the interconnection requirements study process for large-scale
renewable energy projects, the penalty/reward will depend on the specifics of
the upcoming procurement, (3) a new (reward-only) Collective Shared Savings
Mechanism to incentivize cost control over the Utilities' fuel,

                                       68

purchased power, and Exceptional Project Recovery Mechanism costs (collectively,
non-Annual Revenue Adjustment-related costs), and (4) a modification and
extension of the existing interim (reward-only) Grid Services PIM with a maximum
reward of $1.5 million through December 31, 2023. The effective date for the
changes has not yet been established. See "Regulatory proceedings" in Note 3 of
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussions.

3 In the third quarter of 2022, kWh sales were higher when compared to the same
periods last year largely due to continued recovery from the impacts of the
COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 cases have continued to decrease in the third
quarter of 2022 and, as a result, a majority of restrictions have been lifted.
U.S. visitor arrivals continued to increase above the third quarter of 2021
levels and surpassed pre-

                                       70
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

pandemic levels, but international arrivals remain lower than pre-pandemic
levels. The economic recovery is expected to continue this year as international
visitors return and sales are expected to rebound, although uncertainties and
downward risks are present due to global economic factors such as the continued
effects of the invasion of Ukraine, increasing inflation, supply chain issues,
the risk of a global recession, and lingering impacts from the pandemic.


The Utilities' effective tax rate for the third quarters of 2022 and 2021 were
21% and 17%, respectively. The Utilities' effective tax rate for the first nine
months of 2022 and 2021 were 21% and 19%, respectively. The effective rates were
higher for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2022 primarily due to
federal research and development tax credit claims in 2021.

Hawaiian Electric's consolidated ROACE was 8.1% and 8.3% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.



The net book value (cost less accumulated depreciation) of utility property,
plant and equipment (PPE) as of September 30, 2022 amounted to $4.9 billion, of
which approximately 25% related to generation PPE, 66% related to transmission
and distribution PPE, and 9% related to other PPE. Approximately 8% of the total
net book value relates to generation PPE that has been deactivated or that the
Utilities plan to deactivate or decommission.

See "Economic conditions" in the "HEI Consolidated" section above.



Executive overview and strategy.  The Utilities provide electricity on all the
principal islands in the state, other than Kauai, to approximately 95% of the
state's population and operate five separate grids. The Utilities' mission is to
provide innovative energy leadership for Hawaii, to meet the needs and
expectations of customers and communities, and to empower them with affordable,
reliable and clean energy. The goal is to create a modern, resilient, flexible
and dynamic electric grid that enables an optimal mix of distributed energy
resources (DER), such as private rooftop solar, demand response and grid-scale
resources to enable the creation of smart, sustainable, resilient communities
and achieve the statutory goal of 100% renewable energy by 2045.

Performance-based regulations. On December 23, 2020, the PUC issued a D&O (PBR
D&O) approving a new performance-based regulation framework (PBR Framework). See
"Regulatory proceedings" under "Commitments and contingencies" in Note 3 of the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Transition to a decarbonized and sustainable energy future. The Utilities are fully committed to leading and enabling pathways to a decarbonized and sustainable energy future for Hawaii. The Utilities believe that a holistic approach to decarbonization is needed, and that such a strategy requires achieving the Utilities' decarbonization and renewable energy commitments, facilitating and promoting beneficial electrification, and deploying carbon removal and offsets among other levers to reduce statewide emissions.



In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Utilities outlined their Climate Action Plan
to cut carbon emissions from power generation 70% by 2030, compared to a 2005
baseline. The emissions covered by this goal include stack emissions from
generation owned by Hawaiian Electric and IPPs who sell electricity to the
Utilities. The 2030 commitment would provide a significant portion of the
reduction the entire Hawaii economy needs to meet the U.S. target of cutting
carbon emissions by at least 50% economy-wide by 2030. Hawaiian Electric has
also committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions from power generation by
2045 or sooner. Key elements of the 2030 plan include the closure of the state's
last coal-fired IPP plant in 2022 which occurred in September 2022, increasing
rooftop solar by more than 50% over 2021 levels, retiring six fossil fuel
generating units, adding at least 1 GW of renewable generation to what was
already in place in 2021, increasing grid-scale and customer-owned storage,
expanding geothermal resources, and creating customer incentives for using
clean, lower-cost energy at certain times of the day and using less
fossil-fueled energy at night. The retirement of fossil-fueled generating units
to achieve the Utilities' 70% decarbonization goal is consistent with state
policy and supported by Hawaii State law. See "Forecast of capital
expenditures-Liquidity and capital resources" for a discussion of potential
capital expenditures related to decarbonization efforts.

On September 1, 2022, the last coal-fired IPP plant in the state, providing approximately 10% of Oahu's generation, ceased operations, removing a significant amount of GHG emissions from the Utilities' generation mix.



Prior to the retirement of the coal-fired IPP plant, the Utilities developed
plans, including contingency plans, to ensure reliable service through the
transition period. These plans include the anticipated addition of renewable
energy/storage projects, reserve capacity from existing generation sources, the
acceleration of maintenance work during periods with anticipated higher reserve
levels, and multiple demand response/DER programs. For example, the state's
largest solar plus battery storage project to date, totaling 39 MW, reached
commercial operations on July 31, 2022. While the Utilities continue to execute
on their plans, including sustaining provisional and elevated levels of
maintenance for internal generation to support the capacity needs from the
coal-fired IPP plant retirement prior to renewable energy/storage projects
coming online, future events, including

                                       71
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

unexpected issues with existing generation, or supply chain issues and inflationary pressures, as well as federal policies related to solar panel imports, among other factors, and delay in the commercial operation of new generation resources, could disrupt the ability of the Utilities to deliver reliable service. Also, see the "Developments in renewable energy efforts-New renewable PPAs" section below.

Hawaii's renewable portfolio standard law requires electric utilities to meet an
RPS of 40%, 70% and 100% by December 31, 2030, 2040 and 2045, respectively.
Hawaii law has also established a target of sequestering more atmospheric carbon
and greenhouse gases than emitted within the state by 2045. The Utilities'
strategies and plans are fully aligned in meeting these targets.

The Utilities have made significant progress on the path to clean energy and
have been successful in achieving RPS goals. To date the Utilities have met all
of the statutory RPS goals, including exceeding the last milestone RPS target of
30% for 2020, where it achieved an RPS of 34.5%. In 2021, the Utilities achieved
an RPS of 38.4%. The Utilities will continue to actively procure additional
renewable energy post-2021 and expect to meet or exceed the next statutory RPS
goal of 40% in advance of the 2030 compliance year. In July 2022, Governor Ige
signed Act 240 (H.B.2089), that amended the RPS calculation from renewable
energy as a percentage of sales to renewable energy as a percentage of total
generation. The amended RPS calculation results in a lower calculated percentage
than the amount calculated under the previous methodology. For example, the 2021
RPS achieved under the revised RPS calculation would have been 31.5% versus
38.4% under the prior method. The change in the definition is to be applied
prospectively to future milestone measurements and will require that the
Utilities acquire more renewable energy than under the previous RPS calculation
to comply with the RPS milestones; however, the Utilities expect to continue to
meet the RPS milestones under the amended RPS law. (See "Developments in
renewable energy efforts" below).

If the Utilities are not successful in meeting the RPS targets as mandated by
law, the PUC could assess a penalty of $20 for every MWh that an electric
utility is deficient. Based on the level of total generation in 2021, a 1%
shortfall in meeting the 2030 RPS requirement of 40% would translate into a
penalty of approximately $2 million. The PUC has the discretion to reduce the
penalty due to events or circumstances that are outside an electric utility's
reasonable control, to the extent the event or circumstance could not be
reasonably foreseen and ameliorated. In addition to penalties under the RPS law,
failure to meet the mandated RPS targets would be expected to result in a higher
proportion of fossil fuel-based generation than if the RPS target had been
achieved, which in turn would be expected to subject the Utilities to limited
commodity fossil fuel price exposure under a fuel cost risk-sharing mechanism.
The fuel cost risk-sharing mechanism apportions 2% of the fuel cost risk to the
utilities (and 98% to ratepayers) and has a maximum exposure (or benefit) of
$3.7 million. Conversely, the Utilities have incentives under PIMs that provide
a financial reward for accelerating the achievement of renewable generation as a
percentage of total generation, including customer supplied generation. The
Utilities may earn a reward for the amount of system generation above the
interpolated statutory RPS goal at $20/MWh in 2022, $15/MWh in 2023, and $10/MWh
for the remainder of the multi-year rate period.

The Utilities are fully aligned with, and supportive of, state policy to achieve
a decarbonized future and have made significant progress in reducing emissions
through renewable energy and electrification. This alignment with state policy
is reflected in management compensation programs and the Utilities' long-range
plans, which include aspirational targets in order to catalyze action and
accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels throughout its operations at a
pace more rapid than dictated by current law. The long-range plans, including
aspirational targets, serve as guiding principles in the Utilities' continued
transformation, and are updated regularly to adapt to changing technology,
costs, and other factors. While there is no financial penalty for failure to
achieve the Utilities' long-range aspirational objectives, the Utilities
recognize that there are environmental and social costs from the continued use
of fossil fuels.

The State of Hawaii's policy is supported by the regulatory framework and
includes a number of mechanisms designed to maintain the Utilities' financial
stability during the transition toward the State's decarbonized future. Under
the sales decoupling mechanism, the Utilities are allowed to recover from
customers, target test year revenues, independent of the level of kWh sales,
which have generally trended lower over time as privately-owned DER have been
added to the grid and energy efficiency measures have been put into place. Other
regulatory mechanisms under the new PBR framework reduce some of the regulatory
lag during the multi-year rate plan (MRP), such as the annual revenue adjustment
to provide annual changes in utility revenues, including inflationary
adjustments, and the exceptional project recovery mechanism, which allows the
Utilities to recover and earn on certain approved eligible projects placed into
service. See "Regulatory proceedings" under "Commitments and contingencies" and
"Decoupling" in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Integrated Grid Planning. Achieving high levels of renewable energy and a carbon
free electric system will require modernizing the grid through coordinated
energy system planning in partnership with local communities and stakeholders.
To accomplish this, the Utilities are implementing an innovative systems
approach to energy planning intended to yield the most cost-effective renewable
energy and decarbonization pathways that incorporates customer and stakeholder
input.

The Integrated Grid Planning (IGP) utilizes an inclusive and transparent
Stakeholder Engagement model to provide an avenue for interested parties to
engage with the Utilities and contribute meaningful input throughout the IGP
process. The IGP Stakeholder Council, Technical Advisory Panel and Working
groups have been established and meet regularly to provide feedback and input on
specific issues and process steps in the IGP. The Utilities submitted an updated
IGP work plan to the PUC in January 2021. In August 2021, the Utilities
submitted their Revised Inputs and Assumptions to the PUC for review and
approval, marking the significant progress made through the stakeholder
engagement phase of the IGP process. On March 31, 2022, the Utilities submitted
the final Inputs and Assumptions approved by the PUC. On September 26, 2022, the
PUC approved the Utilities' planning methodologies and criteria. The Grid Needs
Assessment is now underway and is expected to be completed in the second quarter
of 2023.

Demand response programs. Pursuant to PUC orders, the Utilities are developing
an integrated Demand Response (DR) Portfolio Plan that will enhance system
operations and reduce costs to customers. The reduction in cost for the customer
will take the form of either rates or incentive-based programs that will
compensate customers for their participation individually, or by way of
engagements with turnkey service providers that contract with the Utilities to
aggregate and deliver various grid services on behalf of participating customers
and their distributed assets.

On June 9, 2021, the PUC issued an order providing guidance to the third Grid
Service RFP filed on February 23, 2021. The proposed Grid Service RFP focused
only on Oahu and is seeking 132 MW of grid services with focus on capacity
reduction (60 MW) similarly in response to the potential reserve shortfall from
the AES coal plant retirement scheduled on September 1, 2022. The Utilities
executed a GSPA for a total grid services amount of 97.4 MW and filed with the
PUC to request approval on March 16, 2022. The Utilities are currently going
through the procedural schedule where they answered a set of information
requests. On July 26, 2022, the Consumer Advocate filed its Statement of
Position not objecting to the PUC approving the GSPA if certain conditions are
adopted. The Utilities responded to the Statement of Position on August 9, 2022
to comment to the various conditions proposed by the Consumer Advocate. The
procedural schedule steps are completed and the GSPA is ready for the PUC's
decision.

On June 8, 2021, the PUC approved the new program, Emergency Demand Response
Program (EDRP), a battery storage incentive program to dispatch electricity
between 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. daily from participating residential and commercial
customers, to address the potential reserve shortfalls following the AES coal
plant retirement. As of September 30, 2022, the Utilities have received and
approved the applications totaling approximately 10.9 MW on Oahu.

On March 30, 2022, the Utilities filed with the PUC to request expanding the
EDRP for up to 15 MW on the island of Maui and received PUC approval on May 20,
2022. The EDRP on Maui became effective as of June 1, 2022. Subsequently on June
23, 2022, the PUC approved the cost recovery of the additional incentives for
both Oahu and Maui through the DSM Surcharge. As of September 30, 2022, the
Utilities have received and approved 25 applications totaling approximately 0.4
MW on Maui.

On October 31, 2022, the PUC issued an order, directing the Utilities to solicit
comments from all interested parties and stakeholders on the Utilities' Draft
Grid Services RFP filed on June 30, 2022. The proposed Draft Grid Services RFP
focused only on Maui and is seeking 15 MW of grid services. Upon review of the
comments, the PUC intends to provide its guidance on the Maui Draft Grid
Services RFP.

Grid modernization. The overall goal of the Grid Modernization Strategy is to
deploy modern grid investments at an appropriate priority, sequence and pace to
cost-effectively maximize flexibility, minimize the risk of redundancy and
obsolescence, deliver customer benefits and enable greater DER and renewable
energy integration. Under the Grid Modernization Strategy, the Utilities expect
that new technology will help increase adoption of private rooftop solar and
make use of rapidly evolving products, including storage and advanced inverters.
On March 25, 2019, the PUC approved a plan for the Utilities to implement Phase
1 of their Grid Modernization Strategy, which is the proportional deployment of
advanced metering infrastructure (AMI). On February 28, 2022, the PUC expanded
the scope of Phase 1 to the full service territory with a completion date set
for the third quarter of 2024. The estimated cost of full deployment (including
proportional deployment) is approximately $143 million in capital and deferred
software cost and is expected to be incurred over five years. As of
September 30, 2022, approximately $56 million of capital and deferred software
cost has been incurred to date under Phase 1 and is currently being recovered
under the MPIR mechanism until such costs are included in base rates. On June
24, 2022, the PUC approved with certain conditions the Utilities' request to
aggregate the per-meter and network cost caps and to recover O&M costs
associated with full-service territory AMI deployment under the MPIR mechanism.
As of September 30, 2022, the Utilities have deployed about 152,000 advanced
meters, servicing approximately 32% of total customers.

The Utilities filed an application with the PUC on September 30, 2019 for an
Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) as part of Phase 2 of their Grid
Modernization Strategy implementation. However, on December 30, 2019, the PUC
suspended the Utilities' application for the ADMS pending the Utilities' filing
of a supplemental application for the broad deployment of field devices. This
supplement and update to the Grid Modernization Strategy Phase 2 field devices
application was filed on March 31, 2021. The estimated cost for the
implementation over five years of the ADMS and field devices, which

                                       73
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

includes capital, deferred software costs and O&M costs, is $105 million. A PUC
order was issued on April 27, 2021, unsuspending and resuming consideration of
the Phase 2 Application. The Utilities filed the reply statement of position on
October 15, 2021, completing the discovery phase of the docket. On November 16,
2021, the PUC suspended the Utilities' ADMS and Phase 2 field device application
to focus the Utilities' attention on completing Phase 1. The Utilities filed a
Motion for Reconsideration with the PUC in response to the suspension, but the
motion was denied. The PUC subsequently clarified that the Utilities may resume
the Phase 2 docket no earlier than six months before Phase 1 is scheduled to be
completed in the third quarter of 2024. Resumption of the Phase 2 proceeding
would likely commence six months prior to the scheduled completion date selected
by the PUC.

Community-based renewable energy. In December 2017, the PUC adopted a
community-based renewable energy (CBRE) program framework which allows customers
who cannot, or chose not to, take advantage of private rooftop solar to receive
the benefits of renewable energy to help offset their monthly electric bills and
support clean energy for Hawaii. The program has two phases.

The first phase, which commenced in July 2018, totaling 8 MW of solar
photovoltaic (PV) only with one credit rate for each island, closed on April 9,
2020. Two phase 1 projects (28.32 kW on Maui and 270 kW on Oahu) have been
operational for over a year, with four additional phase 1 projects expected to
become operational in 2023.

The second phase, which commenced on April 9, 2020 and subsequently expanded on
July 27, 2021, allows over 250 MW across all Hawaiian Electric service
territories in two tranches for small (under 250 kW), mid-tier and large system
sizes to encourage a variety of system sizes. To provide opportunities for
Low-to-Moderate Income (LMI) customers to participate in the program, separate
project proposals may be submitted specifically targeting LMI customers.

Eight RFPs were required by order: one each for Oahu, Maui, Hawaii Island, Molokai, and Lanai, and LMI-specific RFPs for Oahu, Maui, and Hawaii Island. LMI projects do not have a size cap nor do they decrease the 250 MW capacity available to other projects.



For Lanai, the Utilities proposed to combine the previously issued Variable
Renewable Dispatchable Generation Paired with Energy Storage RFP and the CBRE
RFP to optimize the benefits of procuring renewable energy, spurring development
and increasing the likelihood of success of the CBRE Program on Lanai. See
"Developments in renewable energy efforts-Requests for renewable proposals,
expressions of interest, and information" for additional information.

One CBRE proposal for Lanai was selected but negotiations were terminated on
June 15, 2022. With the concurrence of the Independent Observer, a replacement
proposal was selected on July 1, 2022. On July 25, 2022, the Utilities announced
the selection of a new developer for the Lanai CBRE RFP. On September 21, 2022,
the Utilities were informed by Pulama Lanai of a project being planned on Lanai
to remove the two large resorts from the grid, which represent approximately 40%
of the load of the island and raises great uncertainty around the future energy
needs for Lanai. On September 28, 2022, the Utilities notified the PUC that
ongoing negotiations for the Lanai CBRE project will continue, but that the
Utilities will not execute a PPA at this time given the uncertainty due to the
recent Pulama Lanai notification. On Molokai, proposals were only received from
a single community co-op group. After evaluation of these proposals and with
concurrence of the independent observer, the Utilities filed a letter on
September 9, 2022, proposing to close the Molokai CBRE RFP and to work with the
lone bidder to improve certain aspects of its two proposed projects outside of
the RFP process for the benefit of the residents of Molokai. Discussions are
ongoing. CBRE LMI proposals for Oahu, Maui and Hawaii were issued and are
currently being evaluated. The Utilities issued the CBRE Tranche 1 RFPs for
Oahu, Maui and Hawaii on April 14, 2022. The RFPs closed on August 17, 2022, and
proposals are also currently being evaluated.

The Utilities CBRE Phase 2 Rule 29 became effective on March 10, 2022. The
Utilities are currently accepting project applications for small CBRE projects
less than 250 kW in size. The PUC reserved 45 MW as well as a small amount of
unallocated capacity from Phase 1 for small projects in Phase 2 on Oahu, Maui
and Hawaii Island. The Utilities have developed a CBRE Portal where Subscriber
Organizations can apply for small project capacity and manage subscribers for
all CBRE projects in the program. Customers can also use the portal to subscribe
to a project once the Subscriber Organization has added their project to the
portal.

Microgrid services tariff proceeding. In enacting Act 200 of 2018, the Hawaii
legislature found that Hawaii's residents and businesses were vulnerable to
disruptions in the islands' energy systems caused by extreme weather events or
other disasters, and stated its belief that the use of microgrids would build
energy resiliency into Hawaii's communities, thereby increasing public safety
and security. The purpose of Act 200 was therefore to encourage and facilitate
the development and use of microgrids through the establishment of a standard
microgrid services tariff. In July 2018, pursuant to Act 200, the PUC opened a
proceeding to investigate the establishment of a microgrid services tariff. In
August 2019, the PUC issued an order prioritizing items for resolution in the
docket and directed the Parties to establish working groups (the Working Group)
to address issues identified by the PUC.

                                       74
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On May 27, 2021, the Utilities filed the Microgrid Service Tariff. On September
21, 2021, the PUC provided guidance for Phase 2 of the Microgrid Tariff
proceeding, specifically identifying the objective for Phase 2 to promote
self-sufficiency and resilience among microgrid project operators, as well as to
further streamline the Microgrid Services Tariff where applicable. Furthermore,
the PUC instructed Parties to recommend priority topics, along with supporting
rationale to better inform the topics that will be discussed during this phase
of the proceeding, which the parties submitted by October 21, 2021.

On April 1, 2022, the PUC established its Prioritized Issues for Resolution for
Phase 2 of the Microgrid proceeding, which includes the following: 1) Microgrid
Compensation and Grid Services; 2) Utility Compensation; 3) Customer Protection
and Related Considerations; 4) Interconnection; and 5) Working Group
coordination with related microgrid and resilience Initiatives at Hawaiian
Electric and government agencies. Furthermore, the PUC established a procedural
schedule to consist of quarterly status conference meetings with the PUC, a
Phase 2 Working Group Report, draft of a revised Microgrid Service Tariff, Party
comments to the proposed Microgrid Service Tariff, followed by a PUC D&O.

On June 30, 2022, the PUC provided further guidance to the Working Group to
prioritize discussion of the microgrid types in the following order: 1) Hybrid
Microgrid - Third Party Developer using Utility lines/infrastructure; 2) Hybrid
Microgrid - Utility Project with Partners; and 3) Customer Microgrid.
Additionally, the PUC instructed the Working Group to discuss microgrid
compensation and continue the involvement of microgrid developers in working
group meetings.

The Working Group has been meeting from April 2022 and will continue until
mid-November 2022 to meet the PUC's objectives and respond to the Phase 2
priority issues. All discussions and final recommendations will be detailed in
the Working Group Report which will be filed by November 23, 2022 and presented
at the Technical Conference on December 8, 2022 per the PUC's procedural
schedule.

Decoupling. See "Decoupling" in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of decoupling.



Regulated returns. As part of the PBR Framework's annual review cycle, the
Utilities track their rate-making ROACEs as calculated under the earnings
sharing mechanism, which includes only items considered in establishing rates.
At year-end, each utility's rate-making ROACE is compared against its ROACE
allowed by the PUC to determine whether earnings sharing has been triggered. The
D&O in the PBR proceeding modified the earnings sharing mechanism to a symmetric
arrangement. Effective with annual earnings for 2021, the earnings sharing will
be triggered for achieved rate-making ROACE outside of a 300 basis points dead
band above and below the current authorized rate-making ROACE of 9.5% for each
of the Utilities. Earnings sharing credits or recoveries will be included in the
biannual report (formally known as annual decoupling filing) to be filed with
the PUC in the spring of the following year. Results for 2021, 2020 and 2019 did
not trigger the earnings sharing mechanism for the Utilities.

Actual and PUC-allowed returns, as of September 30, 2022, were as follows: %

*   Based on recorded operating income and average rate base, both adjusted for
items not included in determining electric rates.
**  Recorded net income divided by average common equity.
*** ROACE adjusted to remove items not included by the PUC in establishing
rates, such as incentive compensation.

The gap between PUC-allowed ROACEs and the ROACEs achieved is primarily due to
the exclusion of certain expenses from rates (for example, incentive
compensation and charitable contributions), and depreciation, O&M expense and
return on rate base that are in excess of what is currently being recovered
through rates (the last rate case plus authorized RAM adjustments and ARA
revenues).

Regulatory proceedings.  On December 23, 2020, the PBR D&O was issued,
establishing a new PBR Framework. The PBR Framework implemented a five-year MRP,
during which there will be no general rate case applications. In the fourth year
of the MRP, the PUC will comprehensively review the PBR Framework to determine
if any modifications or revisions are appropriate. See also "Regulatory
proceedings" in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Developments in renewable energy efforts. Developments in the Utilities' efforts to further their renewable energy strategy include renewable energy projects discussed in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the following:


                                       75
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New renewable PPAs.



•On November 16, 2021, Hawaii Electric Light and Hawi Renewable Development, LLC
(HRD) entered into an Amended and Restated Power Purchase Agreement (ARPPA).
Under the ARPPA, HRD would make modifications to upgrade and repower the
existing wind facility to enable it to continue to provide up to 10.56 MW of
energy at a cost savings for customers. The ARPPA is delinked from the price of
fossil fuel and extends the term of the existing PPA by 20 years following the
commercial operations date. On December 17, 2021, Hawaii Electric Light filed an
application for approval of the ARPPA, requesting a decision no later than June
15, 2022. On June 17, 2022, HRD notified the Utilities that the lead time for
delivery and price of equipment needed for the repowering project had increased
such that it would prevent HRD from achieving the required guaranteed commercial
operation date. Additionally, HRD informed the Utilities that drastic changes in
the market conditions had significantly impacted the financial viability of the
project. On June 24, 2022, the Utilities requested that the PUC put the
procedural schedule on hold to allow HRD time to re-evaluate its plans and
determine what is needed to keep the project financially viable. The Utilities
and HRD are currently in discussions regarding the project.

•On December 31, 2019, Hawaii Electric Light and Puna Geothermal Ventures
entered into an Amended and Restated Power Purchase Agreement (ARPPA). The ARPPA
extends the term of the existing PPA by 25 years to 2052, expands the firm
capacity of the facility to 46 MW and delinks the pricing for energy delivered
from the facility from fossil fuel prices to reduce cost to customers. On March
31, 2021, the PUC suspended the docket pending the completion of a supplemental
environmental review under the Hawaii Environmental Policy Act (HEPA). After the
Office of Planning and Sustainable Development identified the Planning
Department for the County of Hawaii to be the accepting agency and approving
authority for any required HEPA review, the PUC lifted the suspension of the
docket stating that the docket was ready for decision-making. On March 16, 2022,
the PUC issued a D&O, approving the ARPPA, subject to conditions, that include
requiring completion of the final environmental review prior to construction. On
March 28, 2022, Puna Pono Alliance filed a Motion for Reconsideration seeking
reconsideration, modification and/or vacation of the D&O. On June 6, the PUC
denied Puna Pono's Motion for Reconsideration. PGV has notified the Utilities
that changes in market conditions have transpired since the terms of the ARPPA
were negotiated and has indicated its desire to negotiate an amendment to the
ARPPA to mitigate the impacts. The Utilities are reviewing PGV's request.

•Under a request for proposal process governed by the PUC and monitored by
independent observers, in February 2018, the Utilities issued Stage 1 Renewable
RFPs for 220 MW of renewable generation on Oahu, 50 MW of renewable generation
on Hawaii Island, and 60 MW of renewable generation on Maui. To date, summarized
information for a total of eight PPAs is as follows:

The Utilities have received PUC approvals to recover the total projected annual
payment of $64.7 million for the eight PPAs through the PPAC to the extent such
costs are not included in base rates. On March 29, 2022, the Utilities filed a
letter with the PUC requesting approval of an amendment requesting a price and
guaranteed commercial operation date change to a previously-approved PPA for
Stage 1 on Oahu to resolve a force majeure condition. On May 6, 2022, the PUC
conditionally approved this PPA amendment. On May 26, 2022, the Utilities filed
a letter with the PUC requesting approval of an amendment requesting a price
increase, a guaranteed commercial operation date change, and provisions to allow
partial commissioning to a previously-approved PPA for Stage 1 on Hawaii Island
to resolve a force majeure condition. On June 29, 2022, the PUC approved this
PPA amendment. On July 31, 2022, the first Stage 1 solar-pus-storage project (39
MW solar/156 MWh storage) was placed into service. See also "Stage 1 renewable
PPAs" in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

•In continuation of their February 2018 request for proposal process, the
Utilities issued their Stage 2 Renewable RFPs for Oahu, Maui and Hawaii Island
and Grid Services RFP on August 22, 2019. Final awards for the renewable
projects were made on May 8, 2020. Final awards for the grid services projects
were made starting in January 2020. To date, the Utilities had filed 11 PPAs,
including 4 PPAs declared null and void by the independent power producers, 2
GSPAs and 2 applications for commitments of funds for capital expenditures for
approval of the utility self-build projects with the PUC. The majority of these
projects were approved by the PUC in 2021. On March 23, 2022, the PUC approved
one solar-plus-storage project on Oahu for 15 MW of generation and 60 MWh of
storage. On May 25,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2022, the PUC denied the one Utility Self-Build project on Hawaii Island. In
response, the Utilities filed a motion for reconsideration with the PUC. On June
24, 2022 the Utilities filed Supplemental Request informing the PUC that the
project might be eligible to receive funds under the federal Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). On July 27, 2022 the PUC suspended the docket
until after such time that the Utilities have received final disposition of its
application for funding under the IIJA. The Utilities shall then properly
request the PUC to lift the suspension and either issue a decision on the
pending Motion, or take further action as appropriate. On July 25, 2022, the PUC
approved the final solar-plus-storage project on Oahu for 42 MW of generation
and 168 MWh of storage. The Utility Self-Build project on Maui is still pending
PUC approval.

A summary of the seven PPAs that are approved and still under active
development, is as follows:
                                                                                                                                                                                          Total

* See further discussion under "Review of Interconnection Process and Kapolei Energy Storage Power Purchase Agreement" below.



The total projected annual payment of $75.1 million for these PPAs will be
recovered through the PPAC to the extent such costs are not included in base
rates. On February 15, 2022, the Utilities filed letters with the PUC requesting
approval of amendments to two of the previously-approved PPAs for Stage 2, one
on Oahu and one on Maui, that address delays and price increase due to the
COVID-19 pandemic and the global supply-chain crisis, as well as other market
conditions that have arisen during the development of these projects. On March
2, 2022, the PUC declined to approve both amendments. On March 14, 2022, both
the developer of the project and the Utilities filed a motion for
reconsideration for one project, and the developer also filed a motion for
reconsideration for the second project. On May 5, 2022, the developer withdrew
its motions for reconsideration for both projects and on May 6, 2022, the
Utilities withdrew their motion for reconsideration and filed the developer's
notices declaring PPAs for the projects null and void. On May 6, 2022, after the
developer declared the PPAs null and void, the PUC granted the Utilities' motion
for reconsideration, approving the amendment to the Maui based project. However,
the PUC's order did not change the developer's null and void declaration of the
PPA for the Maui based project. On October 21, 2022, the Utilities filed a
letter with the PUC requesting approval of an amendment to increase price and to
change the guaranteed commercial operation date of a previously-approved PPA for
Stage 2 on Maui.

A summary of the GSPAs that were approved by PUC in December 2020 is as follows:

•The Utilities' renewable energy goals depend, in large part, on the success of
renewable projects developed and operated by independent power producers.
Beginning in 2017, the Utilities embarked on an ambitious procurement effort,
selecting multiple solar plus storage efforts to help reach the Utilities
renewable portfolio standards goals as well as to assist the Utilities in
retiring fossil fuel generation. Several of the recently procured projects have
experienced delays and four Stage 2 projects have been declared null and void by
the independent power producers due to a number of issues, including supply
chain disruptions caused by impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, solar

                                       77
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

product detentions at U.S. ports of entry ordered by the U.S. Customers and
Border Protection agency, and unforeseen site conditions which resulted in
unanticipated project costs or in some cases the inability to effectively use
previously identified project sites. Projects have also indicated potential
impacts from the investigation launched by the US Department of Commerce on
March 28, 2022, in response to a request by Auxin Solar Inc. in regards to solar
panel imports. On June 6, 2022, President Biden created a bridge to temporarily
facilitate U.S. solar deployers' ability to source certain imported solar
modules and cells free of certain duties for 24 months in order to ensure the
U.S. has access to a sufficient supply of solar modules to meet electricity
generation needs. The Utilities are in discussions with several project
developers regarding requests to increase previously approved prices and extend
guaranteed commercial operations date for those projects in order to ensure
their viability given the impact of these recent market conditions. The
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was signed into law on August 16, 2022. The
Utilities are working with the developers to determine if the IRA will provide
any benefit for the issues currently being seen by projects. Significant project
delays or failures of these projects increase the risk of the Utilities not
meeting the renewable portfolio standards or other climate related goals,
eligibility for performance incentive mechanisms associated with the speed of
increasing renewable generation, and the ability to retire fossil fuel units.

Tariffed renewable resources.
•As of September 30, 2022, there were approximately 564 MW, 123 MW and 135 MW of
installed distributed renewable energy technologies (mainly PV) at Hawaiian
Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, respectively, for
tariff-based private customer generation programs, namely Standard
Interconnection Agreement, Net Energy Metering, Net Energy Metering Plus,
Customer Grid Supply, Customer Self Supply, Customer Grid Supply Plus and
Interim Smart Export. As of September 30, 2022, an estimated 33% of single
family homes on the islands of Oahu, Hawaii and Maui have installed private
rooftop solar systems, and approximately 20% of the Utilities' total customers
have solar systems.

•The Utilities began accepting energy from feed-in tariff projects in 2011. As
of September 30, 2022, there were 43 MW, 2 MW and 6 MW of installed feed-in
tariff capacity from renewable energy technologies at Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii
Electric Light and Maui Electric, respectively.

Biofuel sources.



•In July 2018, the PUC approved Hawaiian Electric's three-year biodiesel supply
contract with Pacific Biodiesel Technologies, LLC (PBT) to supply 2 million to 4
million gallons of biodiesel at Hawaiian Electric's Schofield Generating Station
and the Honolulu International Airport Emergency Power Facility and any other
generating unit on Oahu, as necessary. The PBT contract became effective on
November 1, 2018 and has been extended for one year through December 2022.
Hawaiian Electric also has a spot buy contract with PBT to purchase additional
quantities of biodiesel at or below the price of diesel. Some purchases of "at
parity" biodiesel have been made under the spot purchase contract, which was
extended through June 2023. On June 30, 2021, the Utilities issued an RFP for
all fuels, including biodiesel, for supply commencing January 1, 2023. The
Utilities and PBT signed an agreement on December 13, 2021 for supply of
biodiesel on all islands commencing January 1, 2023, subject to PUC approval.

•Hawaiian Electric has a contingency supply contract with REG Marketing &
Logistics Group, LLC to also supply biodiesel to any generating unit on Oahu in
the event PBT is not able to supply necessary quantities. This contingency
contract has been extended to November 2023, and will continue with no volume
purchase requirements.

Requests for renewable proposals, expressions of interest, and information.
•On November 22, 2021, CBRE RFPs for Molokai and Lanai were opened. The RFP for
Lanai sought a single PV paired with storage project, which included a 3 MW
portion, reserved for CBRE. The Lanai RFP closed on February 14, 2022 and the
Molokai RFP closed on March 1, 2022. A project was selected in the Lanai RFP but
negotiations were terminated. On July 1, 2022, a replacement project was
selected and negotiations commenced. The RFP for Molokai sought 2.75 MW of new
PV paired with storage projects for CBRE generation. No projects were selected
in the Molokai RFP. However, with the concurrence of the independent observer,
the Utilities are working with the lone bidder outside of the RFP process.

•On March 17, 2022, the CBRE LMI RFPs for Oahu, Maui and Hawaii were opened and
proposals are currently being evaluated. The Utilities opened the CBRE Tranche 1
RFPs for Oahu, Maui and Hawaii on April 14, 2022 and proposals are currently
being evaluated. See "Transition to a decarbonized and sustainable energy
future-Community-based renewable energy" for additional information.

•The PUC issued a letter to the Utilities requesting development with a Stage 3
RFP on Hawaii Island on January 21, 2021. In accordance with guidance provided
by the PUC in a subsequent letter on April 20, 2021, the Utilities filed the
Hawaii Island Grid Needs Assessment on July 15, 2021 and the draft RFP,
including model contracts for PV+BESS,

                                       78
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

wind+BESS, standalone storage, firm renewable generation, and DER aggregators on
October 15, 2021. The requirements in the Stage 3 RFP are guided by the results
of the Grid Needs Assessment. On March 18, 2022, the Utilities filed a second
draft of the Stage 3 RFP for Hawaii Island, incorporating stakeholder and PUC
feedback. On May 31, 2022, the Utilities filed its proposed final draft Stage 3
RFP for Hawaii Island. On June 30, 2022, the PUC issued an order approving with
modifications the Stage 3 RFP for Hawaii Island and providing guidance on the
Oahu and Maui Stage 3 RFPs. On July 11, 2022, the Utilities filed a motion for
partial reconsideration and/or clarification of the PUC's order. On July 20,
2022, the Utilities filed a Request for Extension to file the final Stage 3 RFP
for Hawaii Island. On July 28, 2022, the PUC issued an order granting the
Utilities' motion for an enlargement of time to file the final Stage 3 RFP for
Hawaii Island. The Utilities' deadline to file the final Stage 3 RFP for Hawaii
Island is 15 days from the filing date of the PUC's decision on the Utilities'
Motion for Reconsideration. On October 17, 2022, the PUC issued an order in
response to the Utilities' Motion. The final Stage 3 RFP was filed on November
7, 2022 and the RFP will be deemed approved and issued on November 17, 2022
unless the PUC directs otherwise.

•On February 18, 2022, the PUC sent a letter to the Utilities directing them to
develop Stage 3 RFPs for Oahu and Maui. On March 10, 2022, the Utilities
submitted its recommendations on plans to develop Stage 3 RFPs for Oahu and
Maui, and on May 2, 2022, the Utilities filed draft RFPs for Oahu and Maui. For
Oahu, the Utilities are seeking 500 to 700 MW of renewable firm capacity, and at
least 475 GWh of renewable dispatchable energy annually. For Maui, the Utilities
are procuring at least 40 MW of renewable firm capacity, and at least 180 GWh of
renewable dispatchable energy annually. Updated grid needs assessments for Oahu
and Maui were filed on July 29, 2022. Thirty-three information requests were
issued by the PUC for the near term grid needs assessments supporting the Oahu
and Maui Stage 3 RFPs on September 28, 2022. On October 7, 2022, the Utilities
requested an extension from October 19, 2022 to November 16, 2022 to respond. On
October 17, 2022, the Utilities filed a letter in both the RFP and IGP dockets
with updated schedules for the Stage 3 and IGP RFPs and requesting approval to
issue the Stage 3 Hawaii RFP by October 31, 2022 and the Stage 3 Maui and Oahu
RFPs by November 30, 2022. The October 17, 2022 Order also mandated a 30 day
comment period on the grid needs assessments for Oahu and Maui, which started on
October 20, 2022. The filing of the Utilities' letter crossed with the filing of
the PUC order.

•On November 17, 2021, the Utilities filed a request with the PUC to develop an
RFP for firm renewable generation for Oahu. On December 22, 2021, the PUC issued
guidance to the Utilities on proceeding with such RFP. The Utilities filed a
draft RFP on February 28, 2022. Per the PUC's March 23, 2022 letter, the
Utilities will pursue firm renewable generation as a part of the Stage 3 Oahu
RFP.

Review of Interconnection Process and Kapolei Energy Storage Power Purchase Agreement.



•In February 2021, the PUC initiated a docket for the purposes of reviewing the
status and interconnection progress of various utility-related renewable
projects (i.e., Stage 1 and Stage 2 RFP PPAs and CBRE) and the Utilities'
transition plans for the expiration of the AES power purchase agreement, the
retirement of the Kahului Power Plant, and other fossil fuel power plant
transition plans, as needed. The Utilities filed initial status updates on the
project timelines, steps needed for each of the renewable projects to achieve
commercial operation and steps the Utilities are taking to address projected
extensions of guaranteed commercial operation dates (GCOD) for renewable
projects under development, which are due to a variety of factors, including
those outside of the control of the Utilities. The PUC subsequently held status
conferences on the Utilities' updates. In April 2021, the PUC issued an Order
directing the Utilities to establish regulatory liabilities for the difference
between the on-peak avoided cost and the unit price included in the applications
for approval of the renewable project PPAs, effective with the GCOD included in
the applications (the earliest GCOD included in the applications is July 2021)
or from the date of the Order for CBRE Phase 1 projects. The amount of
regulatory liabilities to be recorded in future periods are not determinable at
this time and would be affected by a number of factors, including the length of
the GCOD extension period, the monthly on-peak avoided cost, as well as the
factors described above. The Utilities filed a Motion for Reconsideration of the
entire Order, or in the alternative to clarify that at most the PUC is directing
the Utilities to track the information and not record the information at this
time. The Utilities further requested a Stay of the Order pending resolution of
the Motion. The Utilities maintain that extensions of GCODs are allowed under
the PUC-approved contracts and that the Order has the unintended consequence of
imposing penalties against the Utilities without due process. In May 2021, the
PUC issued an order clarifying its Order and directed the Utilities to track
costs to consumers caused by the perceived delay of renewable projects, and that
the PUC does not intend to, at this time, impose any penalties on the Utilities.
The Utilities report the tracked cost on a monthly basis. The full text of the
Order, Motion for Reconsideration and request for a Stay of the Order, and
clarification Order as well as the tracked costs can be found on the PUC website
at dms.puc.hawaii.gov/dms (Docket No. 2021-0024).

•Also in April 2021, the PUC approved the Kapolei Energy Storage (KES) PPA (one
of the PPAs as a result of the Stage 2 Renewable RFP process) (KES Decision and
Order), subject to nine conditions, including the Utilities forgoing the second
portion of the PIM rewards amounting up to $1.7 million for the Stage 1 RFP
PPAs, removing

                                       79
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

grid constraints for the Utilities' CBRE Phase 2 projects and for existing and
new distributed energy programs, financial retirement of Hawaiian Electric
generating units by specified dates and adjusting target revenues at the
retirement dates for such retirements, and a requirement to charge the batteries
in the project using significant levels of renewable energy generation. The
financial retirement of the generating units described in the KES Decision and
Order is contrary to the intent of Hawaii Revised Statutes §269-6(d), which
encourages the recovery of stranded costs for the retirement of fossil fuel
generation, and contrary to the regulatory compact under which in return for
agreeing to commit capital necessary to allow utilities to meet their obligation
to serve, utilities are assured recovery of their investment and a fair
opportunity to earn a reasonable return on the capital prudently committed to
the business. Hawaiian Electric filed a Motion for Reconsideration and Stay of
the Decision and Order due to potentially significant financial and operational
impacts. In May 2021, the PUC granted, in part, Hawaiian Electric's Motion for
Reconsideration and Stay. In this Order, the PUC addressed a number of Hawaiian
Electric's concerns, including removing the condition of the Utilities foregoing
the PIM award from Stage 1 RFP projects, agreeing to address grid constraint
concerns in respective DER and CBRE dockets and not in the KES docket, removing
the minimum thresholds of charging energy coming from renewable energy
generation and corresponding deadlines associated with these thresholds and
modifying the condition on financial retirement of generating units. The PUC
indicated the net book value of generating assets would be addressed at the time
of retirement. The full text of the KES Decision and Order and the Motion for
Reconsideration and Stay with respect thereto, and the Order granting, in part,
Hawaiian Electric's Motion for Reconsideration can be found on the PUC website
at dms.puc.hawaii.gov/dms (Docket No. 2020-0136).

Legislation and regulation. Congress and the Hawaii legislature periodically
consider legislation that could have positive or negative effects on the
Utilities and their customers. Also see "Environmental regulation" in Note 3 of
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Fuel contracts. The fuel contract entered into in January 2019, by the Utilities
and PAR Hawaii Refining, LLC (PAR Hawaii), for the Utilities' low sulfur fuel
oil (LSFO), high sulfur fuel oil (HSFO), No. 2 diesel, and ultra-low sulfur
diesel (ULSD) requirements was approved by the PUC, and became effective on
April 28, 2019 and terminates on December 31, 2022. This contract is a
requirement contract with no minimum purchases. If PAR Hawaii is unable to
provide LSFO, HSFO, diesel and/or ULSD the contract allows the Utilities to
purchase LSFO, HSFO, diesel and/or ULSD from another supplier.

On June 9, 2020, the Utilities and PAR Hawaii entered into a First Amendment to
the fuel contract. The First Amendment amends only the LSFO pricing to create a
two-tiered structure based on volume, with all tier-1 LSFO up to the tier-1
maximum to be purchased exclusively from PAR Hawaii at the established pricing,
and purchases in excess of that volume (tier-2) either from PAR Hawaii at the
established pricing, or from an alternative supplier. On August 4, 2020, the PUC
approved the First Amendment, which has an effective date of July 15, 2020, on
an interim basis. The PUC's approval order allows the recovery of such costs
associated with the First Amendment through the ECRC to the extent that the
costs are not recovered in base rates. The PUC intends to review whether the
First Amendment is reasonable and in the public interest in the final decision,
but it will not subject the recovery of the costs between the interim decision
and the final decision to retroactive disallowances. On July 6, 2021, the PUC
issued a D&O, approving the First Amendment and requiring the Utilities to meet
certain conditions of approval (COA). The Utilities are currently addressing the
COAs as required in the D&O.

On June 30, 2021, the Utilities issued two RFPs for all fuels for supply
commencing January 1, 2023. On February 1, 2022, the Utilities and PAR Hawaii
entered into a fuel supply contract commencing January 1, 2023 and Second
Amendment to the existing fuel contract to amend tier-1 volumes. On September 1,
2022, the fuel supply contract with PAR Hawaii was approved by the PUC on an
interim basis and the Second Amendment to the existing fuel contract received
final approval from the PUC. The costs incurred under the contract with PAR
Hawaii are recovered in the Utilities' respective ECRCs.

On March 3, 2022, as part of economic sanctions amid the Russia-Ukraine war, Par
Hawaii announced that it is suspending all purchases of Russian crude oil, which
accounts for at least 25% of Hawaii's supply. The average fuel oil cost per
barrel has increased 92% over prior year's quarter. The Utilities are expecting
bills to fluctuate until global oil market stabilizes.

Proposed modification to the pension tracking mechanisms. On June 9, 2022, the
Utilities filed an application with the PUC for approval to modify the pension
tracking mechanisms. The existing pension tracking mechanisms allow the
Utilities to record the difference between actual NPPC and NPPC in rates to
regulatory asset or liability. The proposed modification would allow the
Utilities to also record to regulatory asset or liability the difference between
the actual cash contributions made to the defined contribution plans and the
contribution amounts included in rates. The Utilities also proposed in the
application the accelerated return of pension tracking regulatory liability to
the ratepayers during the current MRP.

                              FINANCIAL CONDITION

                                       80
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Liquidity and capital resources. As of September 30, 2022, there were no amounts
outstanding on Hawaiian Electric's revolving credit facility and $98 million of
commercial paper borrowings outstanding by the Utilities. The total amount of
available borrowing capacity under the Utilities' committed line of credit was
$200 million.

Hawaiian Electric expects that its liquidity will continue to be moderately
impacted at the Utilities due to higher fuel prices and lingering COVID-19
impacts to the local economy. As of September 30, 2022, fuel inventories have
increased by $126 million compared to December 31, 2021. Elevated fuel prices
billed to customers have also resulted in higher accounts receivable balances,
which increased by $72 million, compared to the accounts receivable balances as
of December 31, 2021. Higher accounts receivable balances and bad debt expense
may result in higher write-offs in the future. In addition to the cash flow
impact from delayed collection of accounts receivable, lower kWh sales relative
to the level of kWh sales approved in the last rate case generally result in
delayed timing of cash flows, resulting in higher working capital requirements.
However, the Utilities' liquidity and access to capital remains adequate and is
expected to remain adequate. As of September 30, 2022, the total amount of
available borrowing capacity (net of commercial paper outstanding) under the
Utilities' committed lines of credit and cash and cash equivalents was
approximately $123 million.

The Utilities are continuing the disconnection process on a tiered basis, expanding the targeted balances, which is expected to reduce delinquent accounts receivable balances and accelerate cash collections.

Hawaiian Electric's consolidated capital structure was as follows: (dollars in millions)

1  The maximum amount of external short-term borrowings by Hawaiian Electric
during the first nine months of 2022 was approximately $106 million. As of
September 30, 2022, Hawaiian Electric had short-term borrowings from Hawaii
Electric Light of $2 million and had short-term borrowings from Maui Electric of
$16 million, which intercompany borrowings are eliminated in consolidation.
Credit agreement. On February 18, 2022, the PUC approved Hawaiian Electric's
request to extend the term of the $200 million Hawaiian Electric revolving
credit facility to May 14, 2026. In addition to extending the term, Hawaiian
Electric received PUC approval to exercise its options of two one-year
extensions of the commitment termination date and to increase its aggregate
revolving commitment amount from $200 million to $275 million, should there be a
need. Hawaiian Electric has a $200 million line of credit facility with no
amount outstanding at September 30, 2022.

Credit ratings. On June 27, 2022, Fitch revised Hawaiian Electric's outlook to
"Positive" from "Stable" and affirmed the "BBB+" long-term issuer default rating
and "F-2" short-term issuer default rating.

SPRBs. Special purpose revenue bonds (SPRBs) have been issued by the Department
of Budget and Finance of the State of Hawaii (DBF) to finance (and refinance)
capital improvement projects of Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries, but the
sources of their repayment are the non-collateralized obligations of Hawaiian
Electric and its subsidiaries under loan agreements and notes issued to the DBF,
including Hawaiian Electric's guarantees of its subsidiaries' obligations.

On May 24, 2019, the PUC approved the Utilities' request to issue SPRBs in the
amounts of up to $70 million, $2.5 million and $7.5 million for Hawaiian
Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, respectively, prior to June
30, 2020, to finance the Utilities' capital improvement programs. Pursuant to
this approval, on October 10, 2019, the DBF issued, at par, Series 2019 SPRBs in
the aggregate principal amount of $80 million with a maturity of October 1,
2049. As of September 30, 2022, Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light, and
Maui Electric had no undrawn funds.

                                       81
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On June 10, 2019, the Hawaii legislature authorized the issuance of up to $700
million of SPRBs ($400 million for Hawaiian Electric, $150 million for Hawaii
Electric Light and $150 million for Maui Electric), with PUC approval, prior to
June 30, 2024, to finance the Utilities' multi-project capital improvement
programs (2019 Legislative Authorization).

On February 9, 2021, the PUC approved the Utilities' request to issue SPRBs (up
to $100 million, $35 million and $45 million for Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii
Electric Light and Maui Electric, respectively) through 2022, with the proceeds
to be used to finance the Utilities' multi-project capital improvement programs.
The PUC also approved the use of the expedited approval procedure to request the
issuance and sale of the remaining/unused amount of SPRBs authorized by the 2019
Legislative Authorization (i.e., total not to exceed up to $400 million for
Hawaiian Electric, up to $150 million for Hawaii Electric Light, and up to $150
million for Maui Electric) during the period January 1, 2023 through June 30,
2024. The Utilities filed their expedited letter request on July 29, 2022,
followed by their expedited letter request for supplemental project approval and
certification on September 30, 2022.

Taxable debt. On January 31, 2019, the Utilities received PUC approval (January
2019 Approval) to issue the remaining authorized amounts under the PUC approval
received in April 2018 (April 2018 Approval) in 2019 through 2020 (Hawaiian
Electric up to $205 million and Hawaii Electric Light up to $15 million of
taxable debt), as well as a supplemental increase to authorize the issuance of
additional taxable debt to finance capital expenditures, repay long-term and/or
short term debt used to finance or refinance capital expenditures, and/or to
reimburse funds used for payment of capital expenditures, and to refinance the
Utilities' 2004 junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures (QUIDS) prior
to maturity. In addition, the January 2019 Approval authorized the Utilities to
extend the period to issue additional taxable debt from December 31, 2021 to
December 31, 2022. The new total "up to" amounts of taxable debt requested to be
issued through December 31, 2022 are $410 million, $150 million and $130 million
for Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, respectively.

On May 3, 2022, the Utilities received PUC approval through the expedited
approval process to issue taxable debt (Hawaiian Electric up to $50 million,
Hawaii Electric Light up to $30 million and Maui Electric up to $35 million)
prior to December 31, 2022. Pursuant to the approval, on June 15, 2022, the
Utilities drew $60 million of proceeds using a delayed draw feature under a
private placement executed on May 11, 2022. The proceeds of the notes were used
by the Utilities to finance their respective capital expenditures, repay
short-term debt used to finance or refinance capital expenditures and/or
reimburse funds used for the payment of capital expenditures. See Note 5 of the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of September 30, 2022, Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light, and Maui
Electric have $95 million, $75 million, and $35 million, respectively, of
remaining taxable debt to issue prior to December 31, 2022. See summary table
below.

On April 29, 2022, the Utilities requested PUC approval to issue, over a
four-year period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2026, unsecured
obligations bearing taxable interest (Hawaiian Electric up to $230 million,
Hawaii Electric Light up to $65 million and Maui Electric up to $105 million),
to finance capital expenditures, repay long-term and/or short-term debt used to
finance or refinance capital expenditures, and/or to reimburse funds used for
payment of capital expenditures.

Equity. In October 2018, the Utilities received PUC approval for the
supplemental increase to issue and sell additional common stock in the amounts
of up to $280 million for Hawaiian Electric and up to $100 million each for
Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, with the new total "up to" amounts of
$430 million for Hawaiian Electric and $110 million each for Hawaii Electric
Light and Maui Electric, and to extend the period authorized by the PUC to issue
and sell common stock from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022. As of
September 30, 2022, Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light, and Maui Electric
have $221.4 million, $93.7 million, and $63.2 million, respectively, of
remaining common stock to issue prior to December 31, 2022. See summary table
below.

On April 29, 2022, the Utilities requested PUC approval to issue and sell each
utility's common stock over a four-year period from January 1, 2023 through
December 31, 2026 (Hawaiian Electric's sale/s to HEI of up to $75 million,
Hawaii Electric Light sale/s to Hawaiian Electric of up to $25 million, and Maui
Electric sale/s to Hawaiian Electric of up to $55 million) and the purchase of
Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric common stock by Hawaiian Electric from
2023 through December 31, 2026.

Cash flows. The following table reflects the changes in cash flows for the nine
months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30,
2021:
                                                           Nine months ended September 30
(in thousands)                                                2022                2021              Change
Net cash provided by operating activities                 $  124,167          $ 198,256          $ (74,089)
Net cash used in investing activities                       (219,126)          (197,589)           (21,537)
Net cash provided by financing activities                     61,005            (21,213)            82,218



Net cash provided by operating activities. The decrease in net cash provided by
operating activities was driven by higher cash paid for fuel oil stock due to
higher fuel oil prices and higher volume purchased in preparation of end of
service of AES Hawaii coal plant, as well as increase in customer accounts
receivable resulting from increase in fuel prices, partially offset by payments
on installment plans, higher cash receipts associated with increased
disconnection efforts, and lower cash paid for accounts payable due to timing.

Net cash used in investing activities. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by an increase in capital expenditures related to construction activities.



Net cash provided by financing activities. The increase in net cash provided by
financing activities was primarily driven by net increase in short-term
borrowing in 2022 and repayment of short-term debt in 2021, partially offset by
lower net cash from long-term debts.

Material cash requirements. Material cash requirements of the Utilities include
O&M expenses, including labor and benefit costs, fuel and purchase power costs,
repayment of debt and interest payments, operating lease obligations, its
forecasted capital expenditures and investments, its expected retirement benefit
plan contributions and other short-term and long-term material cash
requirements. The cash requirements for O&M, fuel and purchase power costs, debt
and interest payments, and operating lease obligations are generally funded
through the collection of the Utilities' revenue requirement established in the
last rate case and other mechanisms established under the regulatory framework.
The cash requirements for capital expenditures are generally funded through
retained earnings, the issuance of debt, and contributions of equity from HEI
and generally recovered through the Utilities' revenue requirement or other
capital recovery mechanisms over time. The Utilities believe that their ability
to generate cash is adequate to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund their
material cash requirements. However, the economic impact of higher fuel prices,
inflation, higher interest rates, tightening of monetary policy, and the ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic, create significant uncertainty, and the Utilities cannot
predict the extent or duration of the outbreak, the future effects that it will
have on the global, national or local economy, including the impacts on the
Utilities' ability, as well as the cost, to access additional capital, or the
future impacts on the Utilities' financial position, results of operations, and
cash flows.

Forecast capital expenditures. For the five-year period 2022 through 2026, the
Utilities forecast up to $2.0 billion of net capital expenditures, which could
change over time based upon external factors such as the timing and scope of
environmental regulations and/or unforeseen delays in permitting and timing of
PUC decisions. Approximately $1.2 billion is related to replacement and
modernization of generation, transmission and distribution assets; approximately
$0.5 billion is related to climate-related projects to transition to renewable
energy or mitigate climate impacts by increasing the resilience of the system,
and approximately $0.3 billion for targeted efforts to improve reliability.
Proceeds from the issuance of equity and long-term debt, cash flows from
operating activities, temporary increases in short-term borrowings and existing
cash and cash equivalents are expected to provide the funds needed for the net
capital expenditures, to pay down commercial paper or other short-term
borrowings, as well as to fund any unanticipated expenditures not included in
the 2022 to 2026 forecast (such as increases in the

                                       83
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

costs or acceleration of capital projects, or unanticipated capital expenditures that may be required by new environmental laws and regulations).



Management periodically reviews capital expenditure estimates and the timing of
construction projects. These estimates may change significantly as a result of
many considerations, including changes in economic conditions, changes in
forecasts of kWh sales and peak load, the availability of purchased power and
changes in expectations concerning the construction and ownership of future
generation units, the availability of generating sites and transmission and
distribution corridors, the need for fuel infrastructure investments, the
ability to obtain adequate and timely rate increases, escalation in construction
costs, the effects of opposition to proposed construction projects and
requirements of environmental and other regulatory and permitting authorities.

Recent Developments. See also Recent developments in HEI's MD&A.



The Hawaii economy continued to improve in the third quarter of 2022 as an
increase in visitor arrivals have helped drive a growing labor market and tax
collections. Domestic visitor arrivals exceeded pre-pandemic levels in September
2022 due to pent up demand from leisure travelers. The state and county
governments have also lifted all COVID-related travel restrictions for arriving
domestic passengers. International visitor arrivals continued to lag
significantly behind pre-pandemic levels but is gradually increasing as certain
Asian countries have started to loosen travel restrictions. Other COVID-related
mandates have also been lifted such as the indoor mask mandate and capacity
limits for indoor and outdoor events. COVID cases caused by the new variants
have decreased and remain relatively stable at low levels along with
hospitalization rates.

In the first nine months in 2022, the Federal Reserve raised its federal funds
rate to a target range of 3.0%-3.25% in response to surging inflationary
pressures in the economy. The increase in interest rates have increased ASB's
net interest margin; however, the higher interest rates have also reduced
mortgage refinance and purchase activity, negatively impacting mortgage banking
income. Additionally, the tight labor market and inflationary pressures have
increased compensation and benefit expenses, which have partially offset the
benefit of a higher interest rate environment. ASB's net interest margin for the
quarter ended September 30, 2022 of 2.96% was higher than the net interest
margin for linked quarter ended June 30, 2022 of 2.85% and the net interest
margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 of 2.90%.

Deposit growth, which was used to fund loan growth and purchase investment
securities, has slowed and required ASB to increase its other borrowings to fund
the loan portfolio growth. The Bank's ASB CARES loan program continued to
paydown and most of the fees from the program have been recognized as of
September 30, 2022. Net interest income was $65.7 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 2022 compared to $60.3 million for the quarter ended September 30,
2021.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, ASB recorded a 0.2 million negative
provision for credit losses, primarily driven by lower loss ratios for the loan
portfolio due to improved credit quality, partly offset by additional reserves
required for loan portfolio growth, including reserves established for consumer
loans purchased. The provision for credit losses in future quarters will be
dependent on future economic conditions and changes to borrower credit quality
at that time.

In response to COVID-19, ASB made short-term loan modifications to borrowers who
were generally payment current at the time of relief. As of September 30, 2022,
no loans remained in their active deferral period. Approximately $4.1 million of
loans were not able to resume their contractual payments and were considered
delinquent as of September 30, 2022.

In 2020, ASB temporarily closed 15 of its 49 branches and reduced banking hours
at the branches that remained open in an effort to reduce social gathering and
protect employees and customers. The bank has since reopened seven of the
branches that were temporarily closed and permanently closed eight branches.
Three of the reopened branches are now digital branches, which provides digital
solutions such as full-service ATMs and access to expert bankers through
videoconferencing tools while allowing ASB to have a more efficient physical
footprint. The reduction in ASB's branch network should not have a significant
impact to the bank's customers as there are other branches nearby and other
channels such as online and mobile banking. ASB continues to evaluate its branch
network to determine whether further changes may be appropriate given its
customers' use of other banking channels.

The CARES Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act provided over
$2 trillion in economic assistance for American workers, families, and small
businesses, and job preservation for American industries. The PPP was
established under the CARES Act and implemented by the United States Small
Business Administration (SBA) to provide a direct incentive for small businesses
to keep their workers on the payroll as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. ASB
worked with a number of small businesses, both customers and non-customers, to
complete the loan application forms so that these businesses could participate
in the program. During the first round of PPP, the Bank secured more than $370
million in PPP loans for approximately 4,100 small businesses that supported
over 40,000 jobs; ASB received processing fees totaling approximately $13
million and started recognizing these fees over the life of the loans. During
the second round of PPP, ASB secured more than $175 million for approximately
2,200 small businesses that supported more than 20,000 jobs; ASB received
processing fees of approximately $9 million. The remaining PPP loans outstanding
as of September 30, 2022 was approximately $5 million and the remaining fees to
be recognized over the life of the loans was approximately $0.1 million.

Other provisions of the CARES Act provides that a financial institution may elect to suspend the requirements under GAAP for certain loan modifications that would otherwise be categorized as a TDR and any related impairment for accounting purposes. See Note 4 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and "Economic conditions" in the "HEI Consolidated" section above.

ASB continues to maintain its low-risk profile, strong balance sheet and straightforward community banking business model.

Earning assets, costing liabilities, contingencies and other factors.  Earnings
of ASB depend primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between
interest earned on earning assets and interest paid on costing liabilities. The
interest rate environment has been impacted by disruptions in the financial
markets over a period of several years. The Federal Open

                                       90
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Market Committee increased its federal funds rate target range to 3.00% - 3.25%
in 2022 due to signs of inflation and ASB's net interest income and net interest
margin has started to increase but still remains at lower levels. A return of
the recent low interest rate environment may negatively impact ASB's net
interest income and net interest margin.

Loans and mortgage-backed securities are ASB's primary earning assets.



Loan portfolio.  ASB's loan volumes and yields are affected by market interest
rates, competition, demand for financing, availability of funds and management's
responses to these factors. See Note 4 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements for a composition of ASB's loan portfolio.

Home equity - key credit statistics. The HELOC portfolio makes up 17% of the
total loan portfolio and is generally an interest-only revolving loan for a
10-year period, after which time the HELOC outstanding balance converts to a
fully amortizing variable-rate term loan with a 20-year amortization period.
Borrowers also have a "Fixed Rate Loan Option" to convert a part of their
available line of credit into a 5, 7 or 10-year fully amortizing fixed-rate loan
with level principal and interest payments. As of September 30, 2022,
approximately 40% of the portfolio balances were amortizing loans under the
Fixed Rate Loan Option. A HELOC loan is typically in a subordinate lien position
to a borrower's first mortgage loan, however, approximately 57% of ASB's HELOC
loan portfolio is in a first lien position.

Loan portfolio risk elements.  See Note 4 of the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Investment securities.  ASB's investment portfolio was comprised as follows:
                                                                                   September 30, 2022                                 December 31, 2021

ASB continues to invest in high-grade investment securities. Currently, ASB's
investment portfolio consists of U.S. Treasury and federal agency obligations,
mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds and mortgage revenue bonds. ASB owns
mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government agencies
or sponsored agencies, including the Federal National Mortgage Association
(FNMA), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), Government National
Mortgage Association (GNMA) and Small Business Administration (SBA). Principal
and interest on mortgage-backed securities issued by FNMA, FHLMC, GNMA and SBA
are guaranteed by the issuer and, in the case of GNMA and SBA, backed by the
full faith and credit of the U.S. government. U.S. Treasury securities are also
backed by the full faith of the U.S. government. The decrease in the investment
securities portfolio was primarily due to an increase in unrealized losses in
the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio.

Deposits and other borrowings.  Deposits continue to be the largest source of
funds for ASB and are affected by market interest rates, competition and
management's responses to these factors. While deposits have increased by $87
million year-to-date, deposit retention and sustained growth will remain
challenging in the current environment due to the rising interest rate
environment and the level of core deposit rates. Advances from the FHLB of Des
Moines, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and federal funds
purchased continue to be additional sources of funds. As of September 30, 2022
ASB's costing liabilities consisted of 95% deposits and 5% other borrowings
compared to 99% deposits and 1% other borrowings as of December 31, 2021. The
weighted average cost of deposits for the first nine months of 2022 and 2021 was
0.06% and 0.07%, respectively. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021,
ASB had approximately $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, of deposits
that were uninsured.

Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines. As of September 30, 2022 ASB had $125 million of advances outstanding at the FHLB of Des Moines compared to no advances outstanding as of December 31, 2021. As of September 30, 2022, the unused borrowing capacity with the FHLB of Des Moines was $1.9 billion. The FHLB of Des Moines continues to be an important source of liquidity for ASB.



Contingencies.  ASB is subject in the normal course of business to pending and
threatened legal proceedings. Management does not anticipate that the aggregate
ultimate liability arising out of these pending or threatened legal proceedings
will be material to its financial position. However, ASB cannot rule out the
possibility that such outcomes could have a material adverse effect on the
results of operations or liquidity for a particular reporting period in the
future.

                                       91
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other factors.  Interest rate risk is a significant risk of ASB's operations and
also represents a market risk factor affecting the fair value of ASB's
investment securities. Increases and decreases in prevailing interest rates
generally translate into decreases and increases in the fair value of the
investment securities, respectively. In addition, changes in credit spreads also
impact the fair values of the investment securities.

As of September 30, 2022, ASB had an unrealized loss, net of taxes, on
available-for-sale investment securities (including securities pledged for
repurchase agreements) in AOCI of $340.3 million compared to an unrealized loss,
net of taxes, of $32.0 million as of December 31, 2021. The unrealized losses
were due to changes in interest rates and did not affect regulatory capital
ratios. See "Item 3. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk"
for a discussion of ASB's interest rate risk sensitivity.

During the first nine months of 2022, ASB recorded a negative provision for
credit losses of $0.2 million in the allowance for credit losses reflecting
improved credit trends, credit regrades and lower credit loss rates in the
commercial real estate and commercial loan portfolios, partly offset by credit
loss reserves for growth in the commercial real estate and consumer loan
portfolios, which included loss reserves for solar and sustainable home
improvement loans purchased during the year. During the first nine months of
2021, ASB recorded a negative provision for credit losses of $22.0 million in
the allowance for credit losses primarily due to improvement in the economic
outlook, strong credit results including lower net charge-offs and credit
upgrades in the commercial real estate and commercial loan portfolios and a
decrease in personal unsecured loan portfolio balances which had higher credit
loss rates.
                                                                     Nine months ended September 30               Year ended

ASB maintains a reserve for credit losses that consists of two components, the
allowance for credit losses and an allowance for loan commitments (unfunded
reserve). The level of the reserve for unfunded loan commitments is adjusted by
recording an expense or recovery in provision for credit losses. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, ASB recorded a recovery in the
provision for credit losses for unfunded commitments of $0.5 million and $0.4
million, respectively. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the
reserve for unfunded loan commitments was $4.4 million and $4.9 million,
respectively.

Legislation and regulation.  ASB is subject to extensive regulation, principally
by the OCC and the FDIC. Depending on ASB's level of regulatory capital and
other considerations, these regulations could restrict the ability of ASB to
compete with other institutions and to pay dividends to its shareholder. See the
discussion below under "Liquidity and capital resources."

Changes to Community Bank Leverage Ratio. In April 2020, the federal bank
regulatory agencies issued two interim final rules to implement Section 4012 of
the CARES Act, which requires the agencies to temporarily lower the community
bank leverage ratio to 8 percent. The two rules modify the community bank
leverage ratio framework so that:
•Beginning in the second quarter of 2020 and until the end of the year, a
banking organization that has a leverage ratio of 8 percent or greater and meets
certain other criteria may elect to use the community bank leverage ratio
framework; and
•Community banking organizations had until January 1, 2022 before the community
bank leverage ratio requirement is re-established at greater than 9 percent.

Under the interim final rules, the community bank leverage ratio was 8 percent
beginning in the second quarter of 2020 and for the remainder of calendar year
2020, 8.5 percent for calendar year 2021, and 9 percent thereafter. The interim
final rules also maintain a two-quarter grace period for a qualifying community
banking organization whose leverage ratio falls no more than 1 percent below the
applicable community bank leverage ratio.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, ASB adopted the community bank leverage
ratio framework, which allowed it to report only on the community bank leverage
ratio, but does not change minimum capital requirements under OCC regulations.
At March 31, 2021, ASB's leverage ratio was below the 8.5 percent requirement to
qualify for abbreviated reporting under the community bank leverage framework
for 2021 and started reporting its risk-based capital ratios in the third
quarter of 2021. As of September 30, 2022, the bank was in compliance with all
of the minimum capital requirements under OCC regulations, and was categorized
as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action.

As of September 30, 2022, ASB was one of Hawaii's largest financial institutions based on assets of $9.3 billion and deposits of $8.3 billion.



As of September 30, 2022, ASB's unused FHLB borrowing capacity was approximately
$1.9 billion. As of September 30, 2022, ASB had commitments to borrowers for
loans and unused lines and letters of credit of $2.1 billion, of which,
commitments to lend to borrowers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled
debt restructurings were nil. Management believes ASB's current sources of funds
will enable it to meet these obligations while maintaining liquidity at
satisfactory levels.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash provided by ASB's
operating activities was $82 million. Net cash used during the same period by
ASB's investing activities was $553 million, primarily due to a net increase in
loans receivable of $395 million, purchases of available-for-sale securities of
$366 million, purchases of loans held for investment of $77 million, bank owned
life insurance purchases of $5 million, additions to premises and equipment of
$3 million and a net increase in FHLB stock of $5 million, partly offset by the
receipt of investment security repayments and maturities of $296 million,
proceeds from redemption of bank owned life insurance of $2 million and proceeds
from the sale of real estate of $1 million. Net cash provided by financing
activities during this period was $370 million, primarily due to increases in
deposit liabilities of $87 million, a net increase in short-term borrowings of
$125 million and a net increase in repurchase agreements of $196 million, partly
offset by a net decrease in mortgage escrow deposits of $6 million and $32
million in common stock dividends to HEI (through ASB Hawaii).

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash provided by ASB's
operating activities was $93 million. Net cash used during the same period by
ASB's investing activities was $780 million, primarily due to purchases of
available-for-sale securities of $1.3 billion, purchases of held-to-maturity
securities of $314 million, contributions to low income housing investments of
$12 million, additions to premises and equipment of $9 million and a net
increase in stock from the Federal Home Loan Bank of $1 million, partly offset
by the receipt of investment security repayments and maturities of $499 million,
proceeds from the sale of investment securities of $197 million, a net decrease
in loans of $159 million, proceeds from the sale of residential loans of $17
million and proceeds from redemption of bank owned life insurance of $3 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities during this period was $584 million,
primarily due to increases in deposit liabilities of $590 million and a net
increase in repurchase agreements of $40 million, partly offset by a net
decrease in mortgage escrow deposits of $5 million and $40 million in common
stock dividends to HEI (through ASB Hawaii).

ASB believes that maintaining a satisfactory regulatory capital position
provides a basis for public confidence, affords protection to depositors, helps
to ensure continued access to capital markets on favorable terms and provides a
foundation for growth. FDIC regulations restrict the ability of financial
institutions that are not well-capitalized to compete on the same terms as
well-capitalized institutions, such as by offering interest rates on deposits
that are significantly higher than the rates offered by competing institutions.
As of September 30, 2022, ASB was well-capitalized (well-capitalized ratio
requirements noted in parentheses) with a Tier-1 leverage ratio of 7.7% (5.0%),
common equity Tier-1 ratio of 12.5% (6.5%), Tier-1 capital ratio of 12.5% (8.0%)
and total capital ratio of 13.5% (10.0%). As of December 31, 2021, ASB was
well-capitalized (well-capitalized ratio requirements noted in parentheses) with
a Tier-1 leverage ratio of 7.9% (5.0%), common equity Tier-1 ratio of 13.3%
(6.5%), Tier-1 capital ratio of 13.3% (8.0%) and total capital ratio of 14.3%
(10.0%). All dividends are subject to review by the OCC and FRB and receipt of a
letter from the FRB communicating the agencies' non-objection to the payment of
any dividend ASB proposes to declare and pay to HEI (through ASB Hawaii).
