February Snow Storm

Last night’s snow and ice storm caused outages around our service area, and our crews have been working all day to assess the damage and restore power as quickly and safely as possible. We’ve made great progress, restoring power to over 91% of affected customers. The majority of customers still without power are in Thurston County and Kitsap County, where the most significant storm damage occurred.

The National Weather Service forecasts a wind advisory for the east Puget Sound lowlands, starting on Friday, Feb. 16 at 7 a.m. until Saturday, Feb. 17 at 10 a.m. Depending on the wind conditions, our service area may experience more power outages tomorrow, and impact current estimated times of restoration.

Our crews—along with additional crews from neighboring utilities—are out in force. Many of the remaining outages impact small pockets of customers. Crews are going neighborhood by neighborhood to restore distribution electric service, which gets restored in much smaller numbers, such as to 5, 10 or 20 customers at a time.


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.

Inflation Reduction Act

How to Save Money, Energy, and Help Build a Green Future

The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) offers federal tax credits to people working to cut their home energy use and adopt renewable energy.

Many of these tax credits overlap with PSE programs, so you may be able to combine the tax credits with our incentives and rebates to save more.

And, since the IRA tax credits will be in place until 2032, you have the time you need to plan your project.

For more information about expected IRA Home Energy Rebates, please visit Washington Department of Commerce’s webpage. These rebates are not yet available.
