The Honolulu Advertiser’s Rick Daysog reports:

HECO scales back Oahu rate hike request to 6.2%

But the Honolulu Star-Bulletin’s Dave Segal reports:

HECO now seeks 4.3% rate increase

The Star-Bulletin has the explanation:

A separate filing yesterday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stated that the revised increase was 6.2 percent. But Hawaiian Electric spokeswoman Lynne Unemori said the comparable percentage increase to last year’s filing would be only 4.3 percent, since the amount that HECO is collecting now for fuel has gone down since last summer.
