March Windstorm Event 

Thursday, March. 12, 2026 - 6 p.m.

We appreciate our customers’ patience today! Crews are working tirelessly to restore power as quickly and safely as possible, with power restored to nearly 90% of customers.

Work will continue around the clock until power is restored to all customers. While field crews report significant progress, they are still encountering significant issues in Skykomish and Greenwater.

In Skykomish, crew work is focused on the westside, where there are major points of damage on the system. Work is ongoing to make repairs. It will take into Friday to identify the rest of the damage points, and then time to fix it. This is complicated by remote terrain and heavy snow coming into the area could further slow patrols. At this point, we do not have an estimated time of restoration but anticipate it could be into the weekend. We have multiple crew resources working in the area to try to restore power as soon as possible.

In Greenwater, crews are working to restore the transmission line. While the repairs are being done on transmission, crews will start patrols on the distribution system. We do not have an estimated time of restoration until these patrols can be more fully completed.

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.
