Project overview

Washington State Ferries (WSF) is beginning to transition to a hybrid electric ferry system, including building new hybrid ferries and installing charging infrastructure at ferry terminals.

Puget Sound Energy is working with WSF to provide additional electricity to eight ferry terminals in our service area, starting with the Bainbridge Island terminal. The other terminals include Clinton, Bremerton, Kingston, Southworth, Vashon Island, Coupeville and Anacortes. This additional electricity will allow WSF to charge their ferries when they are docked at the terminals. PSE will continue to provide reliable electric service to surrounding customers while the ferries are charging.

Ferry electrification will significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and result in cleaner air in our region. We are excited to partner on WSF’s ferry system electrification and move to cleaner energy together. You can see a map of WSF’s ferry terminal improvements and learn more about their System Electrification Plan on their website.
