The Nextera merger isn't a done deal. A recent example is Comcast trying to buy Time-Warner. The FCC didn't disapprove it but there was enough indication of disapproval at the end, so Comcast bowed out and now Charter is buying Time-Warner. Hawaiian Electric has looked at their financials and decided they are available for buyout. It would be better if it was a local buyer but they are few on the islands and many on the mainland. There is at least a year of review before any final decision is made at the PUC.
