The undersea cables here will have to lay on the ocean floor. The problem is that the floor between the Big Island and Maui goes down in excess of 13,000 feet to mid ocean floor. There are no reefs or continental shelf shallow areas. The electric company spent decades and millions to invent high voltage cables that could withstand that pressure without leakage. They were not successful and may have given up by now.
