Fire Weather Forecasted 

Due to current weather forecasts calling for strong thunderstorms, localized high winds and low humidities across the Kittitas Valley, Enhanced Powerline Settings (EPS) are expected to remain in place in this area until high-risk conditions improve, currently forecasted for Saturday night.

We’ve also added additional staffing for our first responders and our operations center.

These 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.

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.

Are you looking to reduce energy waste in your home?

Here are some helpful tips and resources to upgrade your home this spring:

  • Every appliance comes with two price tags: the purchase price and the cost of operating the product. Choosing ENERGY STAR-certified appliances like our Samsung prize will help you avoid wasting money over the life of the appliance.
  • The more energy-efficient your home becomes, the lower your bills can get. Take the first steps to lower energy usage and check out available Energy Efficiency upgrades and rebates.
  • Keep your home at a comfortable temperature all year round by checking your furnace filter monthly and changing your filter every 3 months at a minimum. Check out PSE’s wide variety of heating rebates to make the purchase of an energy-efficient electric or natural gas heating system easier on your wallet, or save on a smart thermostat to help you keep tabs on the temperature from anywhere via a mobile app.
  • Turn down the temperature on your water heater to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. PSE Electric customers qualify for an instant heat pump water heater rebate at participating stores.
  • Did you know that replacing incandescent bulbs with LED lighting can reduce your lighting usage by up to 80 percent? Visit the PSE Marketplace to find great deals on LED lighting and products.
  • Check your windows and outside doorways to prevent drafts and make sure windows are completely closed. Learn more about how to upgrade your windows and insulation.
