We’re preparing for a series of weather systems through the middle of next week. While we expect to see active weather through the weekend that is likely to cause outages, most concerning is a strong weather system early next week. The combination of heavy rains weighing down vegetation along with saturated soils and breezy winds could lead to outages across much of our service area.

We understand how difficult it is to be without power. Our teams are preparing to respond, and crews will remain in the field to assess damage and restore power as long as it is safe. If your power goes out, we’ll work around the clock to restore it as quickly and safely as possible.

Visit PSE’s Alerts and Advisories page for information on our response efforts: pse.com/alerts.


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.

Under Empower Mobility, all PSE Up & Go Electric programs include enhanced incentives for transportation electrification projects benefitting historically underrepresented communities and the community-based organizations, government agencies and Tribal entities that serve them.

Preparing for an electric future where you live, work and drive

By 2035, new passenger cars and trucks sold in Washington state will be electric.

  • Empower Mobility eligibility

    PSE is committed to promoting equitable access to electric mobility. To be eligible for Empower Mobility incentives, customers must directly serve, house and/or employ historically underrepresented communities (also known as named communities). Named communities include both highly impacted communities and vulnerable populations.

    Highly impacted communities are census tracts designated by the Washington State Department of Health as a 9 or 10 on the Environmental Health Disparities Map or a community located in census tracts that are fully or partially on “Indian country” as defined in 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1151.

    Vulnerable populations are communities that experience a disproportionate cumulative risk from environmental burdens due to: (a) Adverse socioeconomic factors, including unemployment, high housing and transportation costs relative to income, access to food and health care, and linguistic isolation; and (b) sensitivity factors, such as low birth weight and higher rates of hospitalization.

    The list of vulnerability factors and resulting mapping may change as PSE’s Clean Energy Implementation Plan evolves.

  • Community input

    To ensure the best outcomes for our customers, we gave our communities a seat at the design table. PSE is engaging with residents, community-based organizations, municipalities, government agencies and Tribal entities to better understand the barriers they may face in accessing transportation electrification and help remove those barriers and maximize their desired benefits.

    This feedback directly informs how we’re designing our Empower Mobility programs to help remove those barriers. Download our community engagement reports below.
