Heavy rain, isolated thunderstorms and strong wind gusts are expected from today into Tuesday, with the highest risk early Tuesday morning through Tuesday afternoon. These conditions may cause power outages.

Many trees are fully flushed with leaves. In stiff and gusty winds, that means they can topple more easily and damage power equipment, and branches can take flight and hit power lines.

Our crews are preparing and ready to respond as conditions allow. If outages occur, it can take at least 24 hours after the weather has passed to provide an initial estimated restoration time. Our first step is damage assessment—understanding the extent of damage and what repairs need to be made—once it is safe to do so.


alert 

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.
  • If you’re using portable heaters, keep them away from furniture, draperies and other flammable materials.
  • Always use flashlights instead of candles.
  • Be aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning: Never install or use a generator indoors or in enclosed or partially enclosed areas, even those that are ventilated.

Get a rebate for full window replacements

Improve the comfort of your business year-round by installing energy-efficient windows. Efficient windows seal in cool air during the summer and warm air during the winter, reducing your monthly bill and creating long-term energy savings.

What you get

Receive a rebate of $20 per square foot when upgrading from single-pane (any frame) and/or $9 per square foot when upgrading from double-pane (metal frame) with new windows that have a U-factor of 0.26 or lower.

Additional information

U-factor

The U-factor measures how well the window insulates. While the U-factor can be any value, in general for windows it ranges from 0.20 to 1.20. The lower the U-factor, the better the window insulates.
