The 2025 Electrical Reliability Workshop will serve as a platform for residents to learn about the city’s strategic approach to maintaining and improving electrical infrastructure. Attendees will receive detailed presentations on both current and planned capital projects specifically designed to enhance system reliability throughout Bellevue’s neighborhoods. The workshop will also highlight automation initiatives that leverage technology to prevent outages and reduce response times in the event of disruptions.

An essential component of this annual assessment is the Electrical Reliability Report, which provides an analysis of system performance and improvement opportunities. This valuable resource is already available for review on the Electrical Facilities Planning webpage, giving community members a chance to familiarize themselves with key findings before the workshop. For Bellevue residents, this represents an important opportunity to understand how infrastructure investments translate to the reliable power they depend on for their homes and businesses.
