UPDATE: We want to express our gratitude for your patience and understanding today. At about 11:00 AM this morning, Tacoma Power crews were performing required testing of our transmission system protecting the line between Cushman Power Plants and NE Tacoma. The testing resulted in a unexpected operation, causing equipment outside of the scope of the test to de-energize portions of our network.
A thorough investigation will be undertaken to understand the root causes of this large power outage. We regret that so many Tacoma Power and Peninsula Light customers were impacted by this unexpected outage. We are thankful for our crews and system operators effectively restoring our customers within about 40 minutes of the start of the outage.

When part of the power grid goes out, it can cause a ripple effect across entire regions if not quickly corrected.⚡

As America’s water battery, pumped storage #hydropower has proven to be our most effective resource for long-duration energy storage. The acceleration of wind & solar deployments underscores the increasing need to integrate these variable resources onto the grid. #Hydroday

Many people are asking if a power outage similar to the one that occurred in Texas could happen here in the Pacific Northwest. We took a look to see the differences in our grid operations. Find out why Hydro is a real difference maker! youtu.be/eCeuDljxdFs #FranklinPUD
