Today we're experiencing a combination of high winds, saturated soils, and trees that still have foliage, which is leading to power outages across our service area.

We understand how difficult it is to be without power. Our teams are ready 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.

  • 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.

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.
