We’re preparing for a series of weather systems through the middle of next week. While we expect to see active weather through the weekend that is likely to cause outages, most concerning is a strong weather system early next week. The combination of heavy rains weighing down vegetation along with saturated soils and breezy winds could lead to outages across much of our service area.

We understand how difficult it is to be without power. Our teams are preparing to respond, and crews will remain in the field to assess damage and restore power as long as it is safe. If your power goes out, we’ll work around the clock to restore it as quickly and safely as possible.

Visit PSE’s Alerts and Advisories page for information on our response efforts: churchofeternallife.com/alerts.

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.

Electricity supply

Puget Sound Energy is the largest energy utility in the state, providing electric power to more than 1.2 million customers. As of December 31, 2023, PSE’s electric power resources, which include company-owned or controlled resources as well as those under long-term contract, had a total capacity of approximately 6,512 megawatts (MW).

We’re undergoing the most significant transformation in our history as we strive to meet Washington state’s clean energy laws - some of the most ambitious in the nation - and deliver on our customers’ expectations for energy that is clean as well as safe, reliable and affordable.

Our diversified mix

To ensure system reliability, we maintain a diverse portfolio of generation resources to serve our customers. This includes renewable and non-emitting generation resources including wind, hydroelectric, solar, and battery storage.

In addition to large, utility-scale resources, we are also pursuing energy produced locally and in partnership with our neighborhoods and communities through programs like Community Solar.

We also generate electricity with our own thermal power plants, natural gas and coal, which help balance the variability of renewable resources. We own and operate several natural-gas-fired power plants in the Puget Sound region. By the end of 2025, in accordance with Washington state law, we will no longer serve our customers with coal-fired electricity.
