Fire Weather Forecasted 

Due to current weather forecasts calling for strong thunderstorms, localized high winds and low humidities across the southern Puget Sound region, western Cascade foothills and Kittitas Valley, we will be turning on Enhanced Powerline Settings (EPS)  beginning Wednesday evening in these areas.

We’ve also added additional staffing for our first responders and our operations center. These settings will stay in place as long as high wildfire risk conditions are present.

EPS are designed to help keep you safe, but they may result in unplanned power outages. This is NOT a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS), 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.

PSE OATT transmission rates

PSE employs the Formula Rate to calculate its base rates for Network Integration Transmission Service and Point-to-Point transmission service as found in Attachment H-1 and H-2 of the PSE Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT). The Formula Rate is updated annually in accordance with the Protocols set forth in PSE OATT Attachment H-2. PSE employs an Annual Update Process, which refreshes the calculation of these rates by populating the Formula in the PSE OATT Attachment H-1 with prior-year information from PSE’s Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Form No.1, other historical data, including additional detail and company records, and projected net capital additions for the current calendar year. The Annual Update begins each June 1.

PSE holds an Open Meeting each year to provide an opportunity for Interested Parties to obtain information about the Annual Update.

Transmission system details can be found on the PSE OASIS page.
