We’re preparing for another round of heavy rain and strong wind beginning early Monday and going through much of the day. We expect to see numerous outages due to the combination of rain, wind and saturated and unstable soil.

We understand how difficult it is to be without power. We have rested crews when possible, staged equipment and stocked trucks. We are also proactively opening local storm bases and our Emergency Coordination Center and are bringing in crews from outside the area. 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.

Hydroelectric power

Low-cost hydropower is an important component of our current power portfolio because it is dispatchable (within operating constraints) and is a renewable resource. We own and operate two hydropower projects in western Washington: Baker River and Snoqualmie Falls. We also buy a substantial amount of hydroelectric power, much of it from central Washington public utility districts with large Columbia River dams.
