Updates

As of 6 a.m., Monday Jan. 19

Crews worked through the night, making significant progress repairing damage from 50+ mph winds that hit late Saturday night into Sunday morning. Crews will continue to work today until power is restored to all customers.

While damage was widespread throughout PSE’s service territory, Kitsap County was hardest hit. Most customers in Kitsap County will have power restored by 3 p.m. today. Some customers may have power restored this evening.

For specific restoration information check pse.com/outagemap or download the myPSE mobile outage app.

A reminder for everyone: Never touch downed power lines. Always assume they're energized. If you see a downed power line, stay away and report it by calling PSE at 1-888-225-5773 or 9-1-1.

There's a process to our restoration efforts:

• We need to make sure it's safe for our crews to get the work done. They may need to wait until winds ease before they can head out or continue the repairs. It could take several hours during an outage event for the strongest of the winds to die down.
• We need time to assess the damage, prioritize the responses, and then dispatch our crews.
• If there's damage to transmission and distribution lines -- which are the high voltage wires that carry the bulk of electricity -- that will be our primary restoration focus.
• We also aim to restore critical services first (such as hospitals and police and fire departments), followed by restoring power to the greatest number of customers as quickly as we can.

To report and track power outages, download the free PSE mobile outage app. Make sure to have emergency supplies on hand, such as extra batteries, flashlights, and food. Have a battery-powered radio ready to go and charge phones and mobile devices in case the power goes out. If you see a downed power line, stay away and report it by calling PSE at 1-888-225-5773. or calling 9-1-1.
