November Wind Storm

Damage assessment and restoration efforts continue

Crews and hundreds of support staff continue their around-the-clock work to restore power to those who remain out as a result of yesterday’s damaging windstorm.

As of 6 p.m., we have 354,733 customers out of power. Power has been restored to more than 170,000 customers since the start of the storm. However, due to extensive wind and equipment damage, power for some customers may be out for an extended period. We are updating our outage map with the best information available and will continue to provide updates as restoration progresses. Our focus for tonight continues to be on transmission lines to critical infrastructure and public safety.

Crews continue to survey damage on the ground and helicopter patrols will resume tomorrow morning. Our first step in restoring power is damage assessment: getting a look at what’s been done to the system and determining the extent of repairs that are needed. We will provide restoration updates as information becomes available.

Crews from other utilities from Washington State, British Columbia, Idaho and Oregon have all shown up to assist in the repair of our electric system. Support from these outside agencies ensures that PSE restores power to our communities as soon as possible.

Please note: PSE no longer offers direct customer incentives for the replacement of large commercial HVAC equipment. We’ve moved our efforts to education and market transformation within the supply chain. We work directly with distributors to make sure high-efficiency equipment is available locally when you need it. Equipment not eligible for incentive grants and commercial rebates include: air-cooled air conditioners; water-cooled and evaporative-cooled air conditions; air-cooled heat pumps (greater than 5.4 tons); and water-cooled heat pumps.

Additional options

You can also earn valuable savings when you perform a custom HVAC energy-efficient retrofit at your business site or incorporate energy-efficient HVAC equipment into your new construction plan.
