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 Nuclear Event Hero

Emerging Resources: Advanced Nuclear and Alternative Fuels

We’re undergoing one of the most significant transformations in our history as we strive to meet Washington state’s clean energy laws, while continuing to deliver the safe, reliable, and affordable energy our customers expect.

To achieve that goal, we are exploring new and emerging options for electric generation, including advanced nuclear technology and alternative fuels like renewable natural gas. Join us for a discussion with experts from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and PSE staff on what these resources are, their potential viability, and how they might help us achieve our goal of creating a reliable, clean energy future.
