Fire Weather Forecasted 

Due to current weather forecasts, a Red Flag Warning has been issued for Kittitas Valley. As part of PSE’s wildfire safe operations, we will be turning on system settings that are more sensitive to potential hazards. These sensitive settings will be activated Friday morning and will remain in effect as long as elevated wildfire risk conditions persist.

Enhanced Powerline Settings are designed to help keep you safe, but they may result in unplanned power outages.

This is NOT a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS), where we proactively turn off power in advance of severe weather.

We understand the impact unexpected outages can have on our customers, so we've added additional staffing for our first responders and our operations center. For more information or to report a power outage, visit PSE’s Outage map.

Due to numerous wildfires in eastern and central Washington, air quality across the Kittitas Valley is currently within the unhealthy range. Wildfire smoke can seriously affect health, especially for high-risk individuals. To learn more about how to protect yourself and others, please visit the Washington State Department of Health page on staying safe from smoke.

  

Safety first. Never touch or go within 35 feet of downed power lines because they might be energized. Call PSE at 1-888-225-5773 or 911 to report problems.

When and how you use electricity matters

If you have the flexibility to shift when you use energy-intensive appliances, electric heating/cooling systems, and/or charge EVs away from “peak” periods, you may save money on your monthly bill with Time-of-Use (TOU) rates.

Peak periods are when demand and costs are highest. On a TOU rate plan, you will pay less for electricity used during weekday “off-peak” periods, including all day on weekends and holidays.

Earn rewards while helping manage energy demand by joining one of PSE's Flex programs at pse.com/flex, designed to fit your unique needs and preferences.

For more information about the Time-of-Use (TOU) program, visit the TOU FAQ page.
