Fire Weather Forecasted

Due to current weather forecasts, a Red Flag Warning has been issued for the lower Kittitas Valley and Lower Columbia Basin. As part of PSE’s wildfire safe operations, we are turning on system settings that are more sensitive to potential hazards. These settings will stay in place as long as high wildfire risk conditions are present.

Enhanced Powerline Settings are designed to help keep you safe, but they may result in unplanned power outages. This is not a Public Safety Power Shutoff, where we proactively turn off power in advance of severe weather.

For more information or to report a power outage, visit PSE’s Outage map.

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.

Washington State Ferries ferry system electrification

Washington State Ferries (WSF) is beginning to transition to a hybrid electric ferry system, including building new hybrid ferries and installing charging infrastructure at ferry terminals.

Puget Sound Energy is working with WSF to provide additional electricity to eight ferry terminals in our service area, starting with the Bainbridge Island terminal. The other terminals include Clinton, Bremerton, Kingston, Southworth, Vashon Island, Coupeville and Anacortes. This additional electricity will allow WSF to charge their ferries when they are docked at the terminals. PSE will continue to provide reliable electric service to surrounding customers while the ferries are charging.

Ferry electrification will significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and result in cleaner air in our region. We are excited to partner on WSF’s ferry system electrification and move to cleaner energy together. You can see a map of WSF’s ferry terminal improvements and learn more about their System Electrification Plan on their website.
