From the link:
The PUC’s letter said that despite HELCO’s plans to reconstruct the lines “in the same general area of the old lines,” the law requires commission approval “to place, construct, erect or otherwise build” the lines.
Did this happen after Iselle?
My electric power was back up and running in four days. Did the commission fast track approval for hundreds of miles of downed poles and wires throughout Puna? Not just a couple of miles of transmission lines so PGV can reconnect with HELCO?
Was there a public hearing, and commission approval process during the 2014 lava flow, when the power infrastructure in East Hawaii could have been impacted, so 5 miles of Beach Road between HPP & Hawaiian Beaches were widened, graded, and electric poles and power lines were installed where none existed before?
