ITEM 5. Other Events

On November 27, 2001 the Company issued the fololwing press release.

On November 26, 2001, Puget Sound Energy, Inc. (PSE) filed both an electric and gas general rate increase request with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission to halt the ongoing financial damage caused by increased power supply and infrastructure costs. The filing request is for a $228 million increase in base electric revenues and a $85.9 million increase in base natural gas revenues. Pending a final order in the rate case process, which is anticipated to be an 11-month process, PSE intends to seek prompt interim electric-rate relief to deal with an under-recovery of electric power costs averaging approximately $625,000 per day.

In the general rate filing, PSE is also proposing a comprehensive plan designed to help reduce future energy price volatility by empowering customers to make informed usage decisions. The plan would provide natural gas and electric customers equipped with automated meters price signals that reflect wholesale costs and would establish adjustable rate and fixed rate pricing options.

The last electric general rate case was in 1993 and the last natural gas general rate case was in 1995. Attached as Exhibit 99.1 is the press release issued November 27, 2001 and Exhibit 99.2 is the direct testimony of William S. Weaver, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer in connection with the general rate case.
