Fire Weather Forecasted

Due to current weather forecasts a Red Flag Warning has been issued for Kittitas County. As part of PSE’s wildfire safe operations, we are turning on system settings that are more sensitive to potential hazards. These settings will stay in place as long as high wildfire risk conditions are present. 

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, 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.

Hydroelectric power

Low-cost hydropower is an important component of our current power portfolio because it is dispatchable (within operating constraints) and is a renewable resource. We own and operate two hydropower projects in western Washington: Baker River and Snoqualmie Falls. We also buy a substantial amount of hydroelectric power, much of it from central Washington public utility districts with large Columbia River dams.
