Fire Weather Forecasted 

Due to current weather forecasts for strong thunderstorms followed by localized high winds and low humidities, we will be turning on Enhanced Powerline Settings (EPS)  starting Wednesday night. Impacted areas include the Cascade Crest, Western Cascade foothills and Kittitas County.

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

These settings are designed to keep you safe but may result in unplanned power outages.

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.

You could benefit from PSE’s free portable battery grant service

PSE will provide a limited number of eligible customers with free portable batteries to help power critical devices during power outages or Public Safety Power Shutoff* events, allowing customers time to relocate.

You may qualify if you are a PSE customer with approved Life Support status, and either located in a high wildfire threat area or meet certain income qualifications.

Our contractor, Resource Innovations, will contact you in the coming weeks to determine if you qualify and if a portable battery can meet your backup power needs for your critical devices.

If you are interested in receiving a portable battery and would like to contact Resource Innovations in advance, or if you have questions about this offer, please call 206-209-2782 or email portablebatteries@pse.com. (Please note the postcard sent to eligible customers provided the incorrect phone number. The number above is correct.)

For additional resources available to help you prepare for potential power outages, visit PSE.com/OutageResources. More info on Life Support status can be found at PSE | Life support & medical emergencies.

*During high-risk weather conditions, PSE may use a Public Safety Power Shutoff to prevent wildfires from starting by proactively turning off power.
