Wind and rain are expected Wednesday as an unseasonably strong weather system moves through the region. With trees and vegetation still fully leafed out, winds may bring branches and trees into power lines, potentially causing numerous outages.

We understand how difficult it is to be without power. We have brought in additional staffing and teams are ready to respond. Crews will remain in the field to assess damage and restore power as long as it is safe. If your power goes out, we'll work around the clock to restore it as quickly and safely as possible.

This storm may catch some people by surprise given the time of year. As we get ready, we encourage our customers to do the same:

  • Charge cell phones and other essential devices.
  • Make sure you have emergency supplies at home and in your vehicle, including flashlights, extra batteries, food, water and blankets.
  • Have a battery-powered radio ready to go.
  • Download the PSE mobile outage app to track and report outages or visit pse.com/outagemap.    
  • Find more preparedness tips at pse.com/storm.

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.

Emerging Resources: Advanced Nuclear and Alternative Fuels

We’re undergoing one of the most significant transformations in our history as we strive to meet Washington state’s clean energy laws, while continuing to deliver the safe, reliable, and affordable energy our customers expect.

To achieve that goal, we are exploring new and emerging options for electric generation, including advanced nuclear technology and alternative fuels like renewable natural gas. Join us for a discussion with experts from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and PSE staff on what these resources are, their potential viability, and how they might help us achieve our goal of creating a reliable, clean energy future.
