Data collected by a network of smart sensors called Ting has revealed problems on Maui's power grid. The sensors, distributed to homeowners by insurance companies, detected a sharp drop in voltage at the time of an explosion outside the Maui Bird Conservation Center. The CEO of Whisker Labs, Bob Marshall, claims that the faults detected by the sensors, such as transformer explosions or fallen power lines, can cause sparks and potentially start fires. Between August 7th and 8th, 122 faults were detected on Maui's electrical grid, which is unusually high. Marshall believes that the power grid was under stress, particularly in West Maui, where 34 faults were measured. Hawaiian Electric is cooperating with investigations into the fires.
