November Wind Storm

Crews continue to work around the clock restoring power to our customers. We now have crews or servicemen assigned to all remaining outages in King County from the hurricane-force windstorm and are working toward restoring all remaining customers by or within a few hours of 6 p.m. tonight.

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.

Driving the expansion of electric mobility


PSE is committed to ensuring equitable access to the benefits of cleaner mobility. As a trusted utility, we’re uniquely positioned to support and enable market transformation for transportation electrification, address charging infrastructure gaps and manage associated loads.

TRANSPORTATION ELECTRIFICATION PLAN
Transportation Electrification Plan

PSE’s Transportation Electrification Plan is a strategic framework that will allow us to drive the transition to a cleaner energy future.

Electricity is the transportation fuel of the future

Currently, transportation accounts for 45 percent of the state’s emissions, and our most vulnerable neighbors bear a disproportionate amount of the health impacts from those emissions. Accelerating transportation electrification is not only vital to achieving the state’s carbon reduction goals and PSE’s aspiration to reach beyond net zero carbon emissions, but also creating a more equitable clean energy future.

We believe electricity is the transportation fuel of the future. In 2021, electric vehicles accounted for nearly 8 percent of new car sales in Washington state. That percentage should increase as the state plans to ban the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035.
