Fire Weather Forecasted 

Red Flag Warnings have been issued for the western and eastern Cascade slopes for gusty winds and lightning storms. As part of PSE’s wildfire safe operations, we have turned on system settings that are more sensitive to potential hazards on targeted lines in these areas.

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 (PSPS), where we proactively turn off power in advance of severe weather.

We understand the impact unexpected outages can have on our customers, so we've added additional staffing for our first responders and our operations center.

For more information or to report a power outage, visit PSE’s Outage map.

Due to numerous wildfires in our region, air quality in many areas is within the unhealthy range. Wildfire smoke can seriously affect health, especially for high-risk individuals. To learn more about how to protect yourself and others, please visit the Washington State Department of Health page on staying safe from smoke.

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.

Connect your water heater

The newest generation of electric water heaters are compatible with the SkyCentrics AC CTA-2045 EcoPort Cellular Module , which allows PSE to adjust your water heater’s energy usage.

The SkyCentrics AC CTA-2045 Cellular module can be self-installed in electric water heaters installed after January 1st, 2023 with AC 'slots' in order to enable them to communicate to the internet for control through SkyCentrics applications and the Smart Grid to participate in the PSE Flex program. The smart water link must be installed at a property within PSE’s electric service area. Customers that received a smart water link from the PSE Marketplace are automatically pre-enrolled in the PSE Flex program. PSE offers an additional $20 PSE Flex incentive separately to customers* after successful installation of the smart water link and completing enrollment in PSE Flex Water Heaters. Learn more about PSE Flex programs.

*Customers participating in the Time of Use pilot are not eligible for the $20 PSE Flex incentive. Customers already participating in PSE Flex Rewards will be transitioned to an automated PSE Flex program.

If you’ve already received a Smart Water Link, review the resources below to set it up.
