An assigned crew will often need to finish work at one site before moving to the next. Sometimes that could take several hours or longer.

We appreciate your patience. 

Restoration times are estimates for how long it may take to restore your power. As more information becomes available, we may update the estimated restoration time. Conditions can change rapidly, especially during a storm or emergency, affecting the accuracy of information on the map.

We appreciate your patience.

We’re aware of the outage. We need to assess the damage and decide which repairs are needed. During a storm or emergency, it can take additional time to do that.

Please report your outage , even if it already shows on the map. It’s important we hear from you.

A crew is on-site making repairs. Restoration times are tied to the amount of repairs that are needed. Some projects will take longer than others.

Safety is always a top priority.

The cause of the outage is identified.

A crew needs to be dispatched to make repairs. During a storm or emergency, our first repairs will be to transmission lines, substations or other major points in our system. That work needs to happen before focusing on the distribution network. 

Current power outages and restoration information within PSE’s electric service area, as it becomes available.

In instances when there is an outage in close proximity to another outage, the shaded shapes may overlap. This is because the shaded shape is an approximation of the geographic area affected by an outage.

The change of color where the shaded shapes overlap has no impact to the estimated restoration times. Clicking on the shaded shape will provide the power outage status and estimated restoration time for that area.
