Wireless Collocation

Puget Sound Energy’s service territory includes thousands of potential candidates for wireless collocation, including transmission and distribution power poles, street lights and numerous PSE-owned buildings and properties located throughout the Puget Sound Region. Because we are the sole owner of our pole assets and our properties typically have existing access to distribution power and telecommunications facilities, PSE is a perfect partner for the rapid deployment of new cell sites.

To date, our team has worked with every major wireless carrier to install cell sites throughout our territory.

Application Requirements

For joint use attachments to PSE owned facilities, all application submittals and project communication is conducted through the National Joint Utilities Notification System (NJUNS). New site applications are required to include a Non-Residential Electric Service Application as part of the NJUNS submittal process.
