Fire Weather Forecasted 

Red Flag Warnings have been issued for the western and eastern Cascade slopes for gusty winds and lightning storms. As part of PSE’s wildfire safe operations, we have turned on system settings that are more sensitive to potential hazards on targeted lines in these areas.

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 (PSPS), where we proactively turn off power in advance of severe weather.

We understand the impact unexpected outages can have on our customers, so we've added additional staffing for our first responders and our operations center.

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

Due to numerous wildfires in our region, air quality in many areas is within the unhealthy range. Wildfire smoke can seriously affect health, especially for high-risk individuals. To learn more about how to protect yourself and others, please visit the Washington State Department of Health page on staying safe from smoke.

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.

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.
