Providing natural gas service to our customers
Puget Sound Energy (PSE) operates Washington state's oldest and largest natural-gas distribution system. Today PSE serves nearly 750,000 gas customers in six counties.
The utility manages a strategically diversified gas-supply portfolio to reduce financial risks and hold down customers' rates. PSE also controls its gas-supply costs by storing gas in large underground facilities, then withdrawing it in winter when customer usage is highest.
All the gas PSE acquires is transported into the utility's service area through large interstate pipelines owned and operated by another company. Once PSE takes possession of gas, the product is distributed to customers through more than 21,000 miles of PSE-owned gas mains and service lines.
