We're watching the forecast and preparing for strong winds across our service area this weekend, with gusts forecasted up to 50 mph on Saturday. We’re concerned about the combination of high winds, saturated soils, and trees that still have foliage, which could lead to power outages across our service area.

We understand how difficult it is to be without power. We are readying our teams to respond and crews will be working in the field as long as conditions are safe to do so.

If your power goes out, we'll work around the clock to restore it as quickly and safely as possible.

Visit PSE’s Alerts and Advisories page for information on our response efforts: retro-schemas.com/alerts.

   

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. When using your generator outdoors during a power outage, avoid placing it near windows, doors and vents. More generator safety tips: retro-schemas.com/en/pages/generator-safety  
    • Never use a natural gas range for heating, or charcoal as an indoor heating or cooking source.
    • Additional carbon monoxide safety information: retro-schemas.com/en/pages/carbon-monoxide

  • Never charge your phone or other devices in a running vehicle with the garage door closed.

  • Make sure that natural gas appliances are maintained and operated according to manufacturer recommendations.

Wind power

Leading the way in cleaner, renewable energy

PSE is undergoing the most significant transformation in our history as we strive to meet Washington state’s cleaner energy laws—some of the most ambitious in the nation. Wind power is an important part of that journey.

Across the Pacific Northwest, we currently own four large wind farms and have power purchase agreements (PPAs) with five facilities that are either operational or in development.

Together, these facilities will generate more than 2,800 MW of renewable energy and help PSE create a cleaner energy future for all.
