November Wind Storm

Overnight, crews made steady progress restoring power to customers impacted by Tuesday’s windstorm, restoring more than half the total customers who’ve been affected since the start of the storm. However, we understand that for those still affected it remains incredibly challenging, especially with the cold conditions. For customers needing support, please check with your local government or call 211 to find warming shelters and other resources. King 5 also has this list of resources. We are working around the clock and will continue to do so until every customer is restored.

Crews have been able to restore power to 57 schools with known power outages over the last two days, with continued efforts to restore remaining schools, medical facilities and hospitals. The high winds and resulting tree damage not only downed the smaller, local power lines, but also damaged the larger transmission lines – the larger lines that bring power into communities. Crews are beginning to bring transmission lines back online; these lines need to be brought back into service before crews can focus on the local distribution system. Please note that as transmission comes online, there will be temporary spikes in data as those systems are energized, you may see numbers go up and down on the outage map as the process occurs.

Smart Street Lighting available

Smart Street Lights, one of several PSE Grid Modernization initiatives, give you more choice in how you illuminate your roads and communities. Customers who partner with us on these installations benefit from PSE’s ability to monitor and control each light remotely, in real time, and make adjustments whenever needed to meet their local priorities. Lights can be instantly turned on and off or dimmed for benefits like energy conservation or reducing light pollution at night. Plus, the ability to monitor each light’s performance means broken and failing lights can be quickly identified and repaired. Best of all, because Smart Street Lights can operate more efficiently, they’re good for optimizing your energy use and reducing carbon in our environment.
