Per PSE's Electric Tariff G, Schedule 80, we also strongly encourage installers and our customers to report their battery installations throughout our service area by filling out and submitting this online notification form. By sharing your information, you’ll help PSE properly manage the services that we provide to all customers on our grid, and also help us evaluate further opportunities to support customers’ battery storage installations.

PSE is also testing battery storage in a variety of local scenarios to determine the best ways they can potentially enhance the grid and meet our customers’ unique energy needs.
