November Wind Storm

We understand the stress and disruption that outages can cause for you and your family and that it's especially challenging on cold days and nights. We continue our around-the-clock work to restore your power due to Tuesday’s damaging windstorm.

As of 11:59 p.m., we have 298,294 customers out of power, with more than 297,566 customers restored 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 continues. Please note that outage numbers will fluctuate as restorations are occurring throughout the system. Our focus overnight continues to be on transmission lines to critical infrastructure and public safety. Our PSE dispatch team has fielded over 2,000 escalated 911 calls since Tuesday afternoon.

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. Crews continue to survey damage on the ground overnight and helicopter patrols will resume tomorrow morning. On Wednesday, helicopter patrols spent 9 hours in total flight assessing our transmission lines for damage. We will provide restoration updates through our outage map at pse.com/outages as information becomes available.

 

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.

Home weatherization assistance


Having a home that’s uncomfortable — too cold or too hot — and having high energy bills are usually the results of a home that’s not properly protected from the weather. For example, when your home has unsealed air leaks that allow heated air to escape, your heater has to work longer and harder to keep your home, and the people in it, comfortable. The solution to this problem is called weatherization. It’s the process of protecting your entire home so that the air you heat stays where you want it: inside your home.

The Home Weatherization Assistance program is a partnership between PSE, federal and state funding sources. It’s a way for us to connect our income-qualified customers to the local agencies that can assess your home and provide free, whole-home upgrades to help lower your monthly energy bill.
