Interactive Maps
You can access interactive maps that show water resources, parks and recreation facilities and trees potentially impacted by PSE’s Proposed Alignment, as well as existing and proposed pole locations, by clicking on the links provided below. The first two maps are similar to the maps included in the Final EIS, Section 4.3.5 (Water Resources) and Section 4.6.5 (Recreation). The three maps give you the ability to zoom in to locations along the project corridor and to select key features. Use your mouse to click on a segment or recreation facility to bring up a pop-up window that provides additional information.

Eastside Needs Assessment Report Executive Summary
Executive summary of the “Eastside Needs Assessment” by the Quanta Technology engineering firm. This independent needs assessment reviewed population trends, electric load growth, economic development patterns, conservation programs, energy efficiency improvements, and other key trends. Studies demonstrated that different parts of the transmission system will not meet mandatory reliability requirements. The studies indicated that transmission lines will overload or are close to overloading starting in 2017.

Energize Eastside PSE Screening Study
Energy and Environmental Economics (E3) was retained to provide a screening-level assessment of the potential for non-wires alternatives to defer the proposed upgrades on the Eastside portion of Puget Sound Energy’s (PSE) transmission system. E3’s analysis indicates that the cost-effective non-wires potential in the area, including energy efficiency (EE), demand response (DR) and distributed generation (DG) measures, does not represent a permanent alternative to avoid the need for the transmission upgrade options. This assessment also indicates that the non-wires potential alone is not sufficient to cost-effectively defer the need date of transmission upgrades while maintaining equivalent reliability levels.

Eastside Solution Study Executive Summary
The planning analysis discussed in this report has identified five alternative solutions to address the transmission capacity deficiency identified in the “Eastside Needs Assessment Report – Transmission System King County” dated October 2013 (“Needs Assessment Report”). Each of these five solutions fully satisfies the needs identified in the Needs Assessment Report and satisfies the solution longevity and constructability requirements established by PSE as discussed in the body of this report.

Energize Eastside Narrative and Probable Significant Impacts
Describes the system planning context, proposal development, proposal narrative, demand side reduction/non-wire technologies, probable significant environmental impacts, and the no action alternative.

PSE 2013 Integrated Resource Plan
This Integrated Resource Plan presents a long-term forecast of the lowest reasonable cost combination of resources necessary to meet the needs of Puget Sound Energy’s customers over the next 20 years. The plan presented here will change as circumstances change, and actual resource acquisitions will take place in the real – rather than the hypothetical – marketplace. But, examining the long-term implications of PSE customers' energy needs every two years makes it possible to identify many challenges as they appear on the horizon, study them as they approach, and better prepare to meet them.
