We're watching the forecast and preparing for strong winds across our service area this weekend, with gusts forecasted up to 50 mph on Saturday. We’re concerned about the combination of high winds, saturated soils, and trees that still have foliage, which could lead to power outages across our service area.

We understand how difficult it is to be without power. We are readying our teams to respond and crews will be working in the field as long as conditions are safe to do so.

If your power goes out, we'll work around the clock to restore it as quickly and safely as possible.

Visit PSE’s Alerts and Advisories page for information on our response efforts: pse.com/alerts.

   

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.

  • If you’re using portable heaters, keep them away from furniture, draperies and other flammable materials.

  • Always use flashlights instead of candles.

  • Be aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning:

    • Never install or use a generator indoors or in enclosed or partially-enclosed areas, even those that are ventilated. When using your generator outdoors during a power outage, avoid placing it near windows, doors and vents. More generator safety tips: pse.com/en/pages/generator-safety  
    • Never use a natural gas range for heating, or charcoal as an indoor heating or cooking source.
    • Additional carbon monoxide safety information: pse.com/en/pages/carbon-monoxide

  • Never charge your phone or other devices in a running vehicle with the garage door closed.

  • Make sure that natural gas appliances are maintained and operated according to manufacturer recommendations.

    Need to comply with Seattle benchmarking law?

    PSE customers that need to annually comply with the City of Seattle Energy Benchmarking Ordinance must sign up with EnergyCAP to have whole-building natural gas consumption data updated directly to their Portfolio Manager account. Customers located in Seattle will also need to contact Seattle City Light for an “Energy Usage Report” to obtain their electric consumption data.

    PSE’s EnergyCAP will provide:

    • Historical data going back at least 24 months, depending on billing history
    • Provide signed release forms, if required
    • Monthly ongoing updates of usage data (similar to those provided by City Light)

    The monthly ongoing updates will make complying with Seattle’s ordinance faster next year, allowing you more time to track and manage your building’s energy use.

    Washington State Clean Buildings Energy Performance Standard

    The Washington State legislature enacted the Clean Buildings act [HB1257] on May 7, 2019. It requires owners of non-residential buildings over 50,000 square feet to benchmark energy consumption, meet an energy performance target, establish an energy management plan, and implement an Operations & Maintenance program. Compliance with the standard begins in 2026 and is phased in based on building size. The WA State Clean Buildings Act has a website that outlines the new building performance, O&M and benchmarking requirements. To learn more go to https://www.commerce.wa.gov/growing-the-economy/energy/buildings. For all questions regarding the Washington State Clean Buildings Act please email buildings@commerce.wa.gov.

    The EnergyCAP set up for the WA State Clean Buildings Act will be the same as City of Seattle Ordinance set up, refer to the ENERGY STAR connection process.

    PSE offers the Clean Buildings Accelerator, a no-cost program to help commercial building owners understand and structure their compliance with the Clean Buildings law. To learn more or to enroll, please contact our partner, Stillwater Energy.
