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.

Emerging Resources Hydrogen Event Hero

Emerging Resources: Hydrogen

On Thursday, December 7 PSE held a virtual webinar on hydrogen, which included an update on the current state of the hydrogen industry and how PSE is looking at incorporating hydrogen into long-term resource planning to help meet our clean energy goals.

At this event, PSE experts discussed the basics of hydrogen in our energy system: what it is, what it does, and how PSE is considering safety and feasibility of incorporating hydrogen into our resource portfolio.

If you missed this event you can view the event recording on PSE’s Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) YouTube channel.
