Hawaiiisn't inside one of the grid regions GridStrain tracks, so there's no demand overlay here — just the rate trend above.

EIA derives the rate as revenue ÷ electricity sold — a proxy, not a surveyed tariff. Rates rise for many reasons (fuel costs, grid upgrades, storms), not data centers alone, so this shows correlation, not causation.
