March Windstorm Event

Thursday, March. 12, 2026 – 6 a.m.

Damaging winds overnight have caused outages around our service area, with Kitsap, North King, South King and Skagit counties being hit the hardest. We know how challenging and stressful it can be to lose power, especially when temperatures are forecasted to be low.

Our crews have been working hard since the windy weather rolled in, and they will continue to work until all customers are restored.

When is my power coming back on?

We know that you need information to make plans. To provide accurate restoration times, we need to assess the extent of the damage and what repairs need to be made. Damage assessment starts as soon as it's safe for our teams to be in the field. As crews work through neighborhoods, they may discover additional damage that must be repaired. We will set estimated restoration times once we have an initial assessment of damage.

Electricity supply

Puget Sound Energy is the largest utility in the state, providing electric power to more than 1.2 million customers. We’re undergoing the most significant transformation in our history as we strive to meet Washington state’s clean energy laws – some of the most ambitious in the nation – and deliver on our customers’ expectations for energy that is cleaner as well as safe and reliable.

Learn more about our clean energy milestones and implementation plans here.

Our diversified mix

To ensure system reliability, we maintain a diverse portfolio of generation resources to serve our customers. This includes renewable and non-emitting generation resources including wind, hydroelectric, solar, and battery storage.

In addition to large, utility-scale resources, we are also pursuing energy produced locally and in partnership with our neighborhoods and communities through programs like Community Solar.

We also generate electricity with our own thermal power plants which helps balance the variability of renewable resources. We own and operate several natural-gas-fired power plants in the Puget Sound region. As of Jan 1, 2026, PSE no longer serves our customers with coal-fired electricity.
