As storm recovery continues, we are aware that the Outage Map is not showing some customers who are still without power. Our internal systems for identifying outages and prioritizing restorations are still functioning.

We know it is frustrating for our customers and are working hard to reconcile the outages shown on the map. Please continue to report outages, as needed.

Our crews will continue to work around the clock until the last customer is restored.

November Wind Storm

Over the last 24 hours, more than 150 line crews and 70 tree crews worked throughout the day and night to help over 17,000 customers regain power from storm related outages.

We now have 99% of our customers back online since the bomb cyclone hit Western Washington Tuesday afternoon and will continue to work as fast as we can to restore every customer. Being without power is incredibly disruptive and gets harder as time goes by.

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.

Generating your own energy with renewable resources

By generating your own renewable energy, you can lower your ongoing electricity bills and reduce your carbon footprint. Solar is one of the most common ways our customers choose to generate their own energy. Our Customer Connected Solar program can help with information and resources to learn more about installing solar at your home and how to apply for interconnection and net metering with PSE.

Getting started with an installer

Installing rooftop solar panels allows you to generate renewable energy that can be used to power your home and reduce your ongoing electricity bills. Before making a long-term investment in solar, we strongly recommend getting multiple bids and selecting an experienced installer.

Interconnection and net metering with PSE

Interconnection means connecting a solar (or other renewable energy) generating installation to your home’s electrical system. This allows you to draw power from your solar system when it’s available but never lose the benefit and reliability of the PSE grid. When your system generates more power than your home is using, the excess energy goes back onto the PSE grid. When your home is using more power than your system is generating, the PSE grid is there for you.

Existing customers

Net metering lets customer-generators offset their electricity consumption with solar energy production on an annual basis. If you use more energy than you produce during a given bill period, then you pay PSE for your net purchase, plus the basic service charge.
