Fire Weather Forecasted

Due to current weather forecasts a Red Flag Warning has been issued in the Cascade Foothills and Eastern King 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.

Transmission Services

Transmission lines are used as an “interstate highway system” for electricity: they are a vital link used to deliver electricity over long distances from power sources to transmission substations closer to homes and businesses. With over 2,700 miles of transmission lines and 353 substations across Washington, our teams are constantly working to ensure you have the power you need and that safe, reliable service and infrastructure is in place for us to meet our clean energy goals. Puget Sound Energy conducts transmission services in accordance with PSE’s Open Access Transmission Tariff (“OATT”) and adheres to Federal Energy Regulatory Commission requirements and North American Electric Reliability Corporation standards.
