Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation Puget Energy is an energy services holding company that owns PSE, which is a public utility incorporated in the state of Washington that furnishes electric and natural gas services in a territory covering approximately 6,000 square miles, primarily in the Puget Sound region. Puget Energy also has a wholly-owned non-regulated subsidiary, Puget LNG, which has the sole purpose of owning and operating the non-regulated activity of the Tacoma LNG facility. PSE and Puget LNG are considered related parties with similar ownership by Puget Energy. Therefore, capital and operating costs that are incurred by PSE and allocated to Puget LNG are related party transactions by nature. In 2009, Puget Holdings, owned by a consortium of long-term infrastructure investors, completed its merger with Puget Energy (the merger). As a result of the merger, all of Puget Energy’s common stock is indirectly owned by Puget Holdings. The acquisition of Puget Energy was accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (ASC 805), as of the date of the merger. ASC 805 requires the acquirer to recognize and measure identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value as of the merger date. The consolidated financial statements of Puget Energy reflect the accounts of Puget Energy and its subsidiaries. PSE’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PSE and its subsidiary. Puget Energy and PSE are collectively referred to herein as “the Company”. The consolidated financial statements are presented after elimination of all significant intercompany items and transactions. PSE’s consolidated financial statements continue to be accounted for on a historical basis and do not include any ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (ASC 805) purchase accounting adjustments. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Allowance for Credit Losses The Company measures expected credit losses on trade receivables on a collective basis by receivable type, which include electric retail receivables, natural gas retail receivables, and electric wholesale receivables. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The following table presents the activity in the allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023: Puget Energy and Three Months (Dollars in Thousands) 2024 2023 Allowance for credit losses: Beginning balance $ 38,211 $ 41,962 Provision for credit loss expense 13,680 9,482 Receivables charged-off (8,628) (7,216) Total ending allowance balance 1 $ 43,263 $ 44,228 _____________ 1 $21.9 million and $11.1 million of provision related to balances of deferred costs specific to COVID-19 as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Tacoma LNG Facility In February 2022, the Tacoma LNG facility at the Port of Tacoma completed commissioning and commenced commercial operations. In December 2019, the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency (PSCAA) issued the air quality permit for the facility, and the Pollution Hearings Control Board of Washington State upheld the approval following extended litigation. The Tacoma LNG facility provides peak-shaving services to PSE’s natural gas customers, and provides LNG as fuel to transportation customers, particularly in the marine market at a lower cost due to the facility's scale. The State of Washington Division II Court of Appeals upheld the permit issuance and in February 2024 denied the Puyallup Tribe of Indians' motion to reconsider. On March 22, 2024, a coalition of environmental organizations lead by Advocates for a Cleaner Tacoma, petitioned the Washington Supreme Court to review portions of the Court of Appeals' decision. On March 25, 2024, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians also petitioned the Washington Supreme Court for review. Pursuant to an order by the Washington Commission, PSE will be allocated approximately 43.0% of common capital and operating costs, consistent with the regulated portion of the Tacoma LNG facility. The remaining 57.0% of common capital and operating costs of the Tacoma LNG facility will be allocated to Puget LNG. Per this allocation of costs, $239.1 million and $240.5 million of non-utility plant operating cost is reported in the Puget Energy "Other property and investments" line item as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Additionally, $6.7 million and $7.8 million of operating costs are reported in the Puget Energy "Non-utility expense and other" financial statement line item for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023, respectively. Further, $234.1 million and $235.6 million of natural gas plant related to PSE’s portion of the Tacoma LNG facility is reported in the PSE “Utility plant - Natural gas plant” financial statement line item as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, as PSE is a regulated entity. Variable Interest Entities In April 2017, PSE entered into a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Skookumchuck Wind Energy Project, LLC (Skookumchuck) pursuant to which Skookumchuck would develop a wind generation facility and sell bundled energy and associated attributes, namely renewable energy certificates (RECs), to PSE over a term of 20 years. Skookumchuck commenced commercial operation in November 2020. In May 2020, PSE entered into a PPA with Golden Hills Wind Farm, LLC (Golden Hills) pursuant to which Golden Hills would develop a wind generation facility and sell bundled energy and associated attributes, namely RECs, to PSE over a term of 20 years. On April 29, 2022, Golden Hills commenced commercial operations. In February 2021, PSE entered into a PPA with Clearwater Wind Project, LLC (Clearwater) in which Clearwater would develop a wind generation facility and sell energy and associated attributes to PSE over a term of 25 years. On November 8, 2022, Clearwater commenced commercial operations. For each of the aforementioned PPAs, PSE has no equity investment in the generation facilities, but is the only customer of each facility. PSE has concluded that Skookumchuck, Golden Hills, and Clearwater represent variable interest entities (VIE) and that PSE is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs since it does not control the commercial and operating activities of the facilities. Additionally, PSE does not have the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits. As a result, PSE does not consolidate the VIEs. Purchased energy of $26.3 million and $29.7 million were recognized in purchased electricity on the Company's consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively. Additionally, $13.9 million and $14.6 million were included in accounts payable on the Company's balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. For further information on the Company's accounting policies, see Part II, Item 8, Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. |

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract] | |
New Accounting Pronouncements | New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ”. ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the current guidance on contract modifications to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848" . ASU 2022-06 postpones the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Company is not aware of any current agreements that reference LIBOR and thus, has not utilized any practical expedients. The Company continues to monitor whether any new agreements are entered into which reference LIBOR and if the expedients would be utilized through the allowed period of December 31, 2024. Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Adopted Reportable Segment Disclosures In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures". ASU 2023-07 is intended to improve the disclosures for reportable segments and provide more detailed information about a reportable segment's expenses. This will require disclosure of significant segment expense categories, amounts for each reportable segment, disclosure of the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker and how they use the measure of the segments profit or loss to assess performance and allocate resources. ASU 2023-07 will be effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. As the amendment contemplates changes in disclosures only, it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows, or consolidated balance sheets; however, the Company continues to assess the impacts of the amendment. Income Tax Disclosures In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures". ASU 2023-09 will require disclosure of specific categories in a tabular rate reconciliation using both percentages and currency amounts, and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Further requirements include a qualitative description of the tax jurisdictions, an explanation of the reconciling items disclosed and disclosure regarding income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 will eliminate the requirement to disclose the nature and estimate of range in unrecognized tax benefits and disclosures of the cumulative amount of each type of temporary difference when a deferred tax liability is not recognized. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for the Company in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. As the amendment contemplates changes in disclosures only, it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows, or consolidated balance sheets; however, the Company continues to assess the impacts of the amendment. Climate Related Disclosures In March 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Final Rule S7-10-22, "The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors". Final Rule S7-10-22 will require disclosure for material climate-related risks; activities to adapt or mitigate climate-related risks; information regarding the roles of management and the board of directors in managing climate-related risks and information on climate-related targets or goals that are material to the business. Additionally, the final rules require disclosure of Scope 1 and/or Scope 2 GHG emissions on a phased-in basis by certain larger registrants with material emissions. PSE is a non-accelerated filer and final rule S7-10-22 does not require non-accelerated filers to disclose GHG emissions. The Final Rules were set to become effective May 28, 2024, however the SEC decided to stay implementation pending resolution of appeals. As currently drafted, Final Rule S7-10-22 will be effective for the Company in fiscal year 2027. The final rule impacts disclosures only, and thus is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows, or consolidated balance sheets; however, the Company continues to assess the impacts of the Final Rules and the cost of compliance. |

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations In December 2020, Puget LNG entered into a contract with one customer where Puget LNG is selling LNG over a 10-year delivery period beginning no later than 2024. The contract requires the customer to purchase a minimum annual quantity even if the customer does not take delivery. The price of the LNG includes a fixed charge, a fuel charge that includes both a market index and fixed margin component and other variable consideration. The fixed transaction price is allocated to the remaining performance obligations which is determined by the fixed charge components multiplied by the outstanding minimum annual quantity. Based on management’s best estimate of commencement, the Company expects to recognize this revenue over the following time periods: Puget Energy (Dollars in Thousands) 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 Thereafter Total Remaining performance obligations $ 15,359 $ 19,710 $ 19,454 $ 19,454 $ 19,454 $ 102,135 $ 195,566 |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities | Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities PSE employs various energy portfolio optimization strategies but is not in the business of assuming risk for the purpose of realizing speculative trading revenue. The nature of serving regulated electric customers with its portfolio of owned and contracted electric generation resources exposes PSE and its customers to some volumetric and commodity price risks within the sharing mechanism of the Power Cost Adjustment. Therefore, wholesale market transactions and PSE's related hedging strategies are focused on reducing costs and risks where feasible, thus reducing volatility in costs in the portfolio. In order to manage its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted energy transactions, PSE utilizes a programmatic hedging strategy, which extends out three years. PSE's hedging strategy includes a risk-responsive component for the core natural gas portfolio, which utilizes quantitative risk-based measures with defined objectives to balance both portfolio risk and hedge costs. PSE's energy risk portfolio management function monitors and manages these risks using analytical models and tools. In order to manage risks effectively, PSE enters into forward physical electric and natural gas purchase and sale agreements, fixed-for-floating swap contracts, and commodity call/put options. Currently, the Company does not apply cash flow hedge accounting and therefore records all mark-to-market gains or losses through earnings. The Company manages its interest rate risk through the issuance of mostly fixed-rate debt with varied maturities. The Company utilizes internal cash from operations, borrowings under its commercial paper program and its credit facilities to meet short-term funding needs. The Company may enter into swap instruments or other financial hedge instruments to manage the interest rate risk associated with these debts. The following table presents the volumes, fair values and classification of the Company's derivative instruments recorded on the balance sheets: Puget Energy and March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 (Dollars in Thousands) Volumes (millions) Assets 1 Liabilities 2 Volumes (millions) Assets 1 Liabilities 2 Electric portfolio derivatives * $ 71,850 $ 121,427 * $ 93,028 $ 126,939 Natural gas derivatives (MMBtus) 3 268 16,537 55,310 301 16,521 96,898 Total derivative contracts $ 88,387 $ 176,737 $ 109,549 $ 223,837 Current $ 64,279 $ 144,416 $ 74,225 $ 185,788 Long-term 24,108 32,321 35,324 38,049 Total derivative contracts $ 88,387 $ 176,737 $ 109,549 $ 223,837 _______________ 1 Balance sheet classification: Current and Long-term Unrealized gain on derivative instruments. 2 Balance sheet classification: Current and Long-term Unrealized loss on derivative instruments. 3 All fair value adjustments on derivatives relating to the natural gas business have been deferred in accordance with ASC 980, “Regulated Operations,” due to the PGA mechanism. The net derivative asset or liability and offsetting regulatory liability or asset are related to contracts used to economically hedge the cost of physical gas purchased to serve natural gas customers. * Electric portfolio derivatives consist of electric generation fuel of 297.8 million MMBtu and purchased electricity of 5.5 million MWhs at March 31, 2024, and 315.6 million MMBtus and 2.3 million MWhs at December 31, 2023. It is the Company's policy to record all derivative transactions on a gross basis at the contract level without offsetting assets or liabilities. The Company generally enters into transactions using the following master agreements: WSPP agreements, which standardize physical power contracts; ISDA agreements, which standardize financial natural gas and electric contracts; and NAESB agreements, which standardize physical natural gas contracts. The Company believes that such agreements reduce credit risk exposure because such agreements provide for the netting and offsetting of monthly payments as well as the right of set-off in the event of counterparty default. The set-off provision can be used as a final settlement of accounts which extinguishes the mutual debts owed between the parties in exchange for a new net amount. For further details regarding the fair value of derivative instruments, see Note 5, "Fair Value Measurements," in the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report. The following tables present the potential effect of netting arrangements, including rights of set-off associated with the Company's derivative assets and liabilities: Puget Energy and At March 31, 2024 Gross Amount Recognized in the Statement of Financial Position 1 Gross Amounts Offset in the Statement of Financial Position Net of Amounts Presented in the Statement of Financial Position Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Statement of Financial Position (Dollars in Thousands) Commodity Contracts Cash Collateral Received/Posted Net Amount Assets: Energy derivative contracts $ 88,387 $ — $ 88,387 $ (65,077) $ — $ 23,310 Liabilities: Energy derivative contracts $ 176,737 $ — $ 176,737 $ (65,077) $ (8,231) $ 103,429 Puget Energy and At December 31, 2023 Gross Amount Recognized in the Statement of Financial Position 1 Gross Amounts Offset in the Statement of Financial Position Net of Amounts Presented in the Statement of Financial Position Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Statement of Financial Position (Dollars in Thousands) Commodity Contracts Cash Collateral Received/Posted Net Amount Assets: Energy derivative contracts $ 109,549 $ — $ 109,549 $ (82,206) $ — $ 27,343 Liabilities: Energy derivative contracts $ 223,837 $ — $ 223,837 $ (82,206) $ (84) $ 141,547 _______________ 1 All derivative contract deals are executed under ISDA, NAESB, and WSPP master agreements with right of set-off. The following table presents the effect and classification of the realized and unrealized gains (losses) of the Company's derivatives recorded on the statements of income: Puget Energy and Three Months Ended (Dollars in Thousands) Classification 2024 2023 Gas for power derivatives: Unrealized Unrealized gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net $ 17,647 $ (104,646) Realized Electric generation fuel (17,288) 88,267 Power derivatives: Unrealized Unrealized gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net (33,312) (87,477) Realized Purchased electricity (31,690) 51,017 Total gain (loss) recognized in income on derivatives $ (64,643) $ (52,839) The Company is exposed to credit risk primarily through buying and selling electricity and natural gas to serve its customers. Credit risk is the potential loss resulting from a counterparty's non-performance under an agreement. The Company manages credit risk with policies and procedures for, among other things, counterparty credit analysis, exposure measurement, and exposure monitoring and mitigation. The Company monitors counterparties for significant swings in credit default swap rates, credit rating changes by external rating agencies, ownership changes or financial distress. Where deemed appropriate, the Company may request collateral or other security from its counterparties to mitigate potential credit default losses. Criteria employed in this decision include, among other things, the perceived creditworthiness of the counterparty and the expected credit exposure. It is possible that volatility in energy commodity prices could cause the Company to have material credit risk exposure with one or more counterparties. If such counterparties fail to perform their obligations under one or more agreements, the Company could suffer a material financial loss. However, as of March 31, 2024, approximately 98.1% of the Company's energy portfolio exposure, excluding NPNS transactions, is with counterparties that are rated investment grade by rating agencies and 1.9% are either rated below investment grade or not rated by rating agencies. The Company assesses credit risk internally for counterparties that are not rated by the major rating agencies. The Company computes credit reserves at a master agreement level by counterparty. The Company considers external credit ratings and market factors in the determination of reserves, such as credit default swaps and bond spreads. The Company recognizes that external ratings may not always reflect how a market participant perceives a counterparty's risk of default. The Company uses both default factors published by Standard & Poor's and factors derived through analysis of market risk, which reflect the application of an industry standard recovery rate. The Company selects a default factor by counterparty at an aggregate master agreement level based on a weighted average default tenor for that counterparty's deals. The default tenor is determined by weighting the fair value and contract tenors for all deals for each counterparty to derive an average value. The default factor used is dependent upon whether the counterparty is in a net asset or a net liability position after applying the master agreement levels. The Company applies the counterparty's default factor to compute credit reserves for counterparties that are in a net asset position. The Company calculates a non-performance risk on its derivative liabilities by using its estimated incremental borrowing rate over the risk-free rate. Credit reserves are netted against the unrealized gain (loss) positions. The majority of the Company's derivative contracts are with financial institutions and other utilities operating within the Western Electricity Coordinating Council. PSE also transacts power futures contracts on the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), and natural gas contracts on the ICE natural gas exchange (NGX) platform. Execution of contracts on ICE requires the daily posting of margin calls as collateral through a futures and clearing agent. As of March 31, 2024, PSE had cash posted as collateral of $11.2 million related to contracts executed on the ICE platform. As a condition of transacting on the ICE NGX platform as well as participating in the Washington state carbon allowance auctions, PSE maintains a standby letter of credit agreement with TD Bank. As of March 31, 2024, PSE had no cash posted with ICE NGX, and $15.0 million was issued under the standby letter of credit agreement in support of natural gas and carbon allowance purchases. PSE did not trigger any collateral requirements with any of its counterparties nor were any of PSE's counterparties required to post collateral resulting from credit rating downgrades during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The following table presents the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a liability position and the amount of additional collateral the Company could be required to post: Puget Energy and (Dollars in Thousands) At March 31, 2024 At December 31, 2023 Fair Value 1 Posted Contingent Fair Value 1 Posted Contingent Contingent Feature Liability Collateral Collateral Liability Collateral Collateral Credit rating 2 $ 30,174 $ — $ 30,174 $ 13,384 $ — $ 13,384 Requested credit for adequate assurance — — — 53,427 — — Forward value of contract 3 8,231 11,232 N/A 84 12,429 N/A Total $ 38,405 $ 11,232 $ 30,174 $ 66,895 $ 12,429 $ 13,384 _______________ 1 Represents the derivative fair value of contracts with contingent features for counterparties in net derivative liability positions. Excludes NPNS, accounts payable and accounts receivable. 2 Failure by PSE to maintain an investment grade credit rating from each of the major credit rating agencies provides counterparties a contractual right to demand collateral. 3 Collateral requirements may vary based on changes in the forward value of underlying transactions relative to contractually defined collateral thresholds. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements ASC 820 established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy categorizes the inputs into three levels with the highest priority given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority given to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives and listed equities. Equity securities that are also classified as cash equivalents are considered Level 1 if there are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. Instruments in this category include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as over-the-counter forwards and options. Level 3 - Pricing inputs include significant inputs that have little or no observability as of the reporting date. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management's best estimate of fair value. Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety in the appropriate fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company primarily determines fair value measurements classified as Level 2 or Level 3 using a combination of the income and market valuation approaches. The process of determining the fair values is the responsibility of the derivative accounting department, which reports to the Controller and Principal Accounting Officer. Inputs used to estimate the fair value of forwards, swaps and options include market-price curves, contract terms and prices, credit-risk adjustments, and discount factors. Additionally, for options, the Black-Scholes option valuation model and implied market volatility curves are used. Inputs used to estimate fair value in industry-standard models are categorized as Level 2 inputs as substantially all assumptions and inputs are observable in active markets throughout the full term of the instruments. On a daily basis, the Company obtains quoted forward prices for the electric and natural gas markets from an independent external pricing service. The Company considers its electric and natural gas contracts as Level 2 derivative instruments as such contracts are commonly traded as over-the-counter forwards with indirectly observable price quotes. However, certain energy derivative instruments with maturity dates falling outside the range of observable price quotes or that are transacted at illiquid delivery locations are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Management's assessment is based on the trading activity in real-time and forward electric and natural gas markets. Each quarter, the Company confirms the validity of pricing-service quoted prices used to value Level 2 commodity contracts with the actual prices of commodity contracts entered into during the most recent quarter. The Company’s environmental compliance obligation is categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and is measured at fair value using a market approach based on quoted prices from an independent pricing service. Assets and Liabilities with Estimated Fair Value The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term debt as reported on the balance sheet are reasonable estimates of their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments and are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of other investments of $44.5 million and $44.6 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 respectively, are included in "Other property and investments" on the balance sheet. These values are also reasonable estimates of their fair value and classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as they are valued based on market rates for similar transactions. The fair value of the long-term notes was estimated using the discounted cash flow method with the U.S. Treasury yields and the Company's credit spreads as inputs, interpolating to the maturity date of each issue. The carrying values and estimated fair values were as follows: Puget Energy March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 (Dollars in Thousands) Level Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Liabilities: Long-term debt (fixed-rate), net of discount 1 2 $ 7,039,734 $ 6,702,065 $ 7,036,642 $ 6,855,503 Total liabilities $ 7,039,734 $ 6,702,065 $ 7,036,642 $ 6,855,503 Puget Sound Energy March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 (Dollars in Thousands) Level Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Liabilities: Long-term debt (fixed-rate), net of discount 2 2 $ 5,184,563 $ 4,852,243 $ 5,184,047 $ 5,007,483 Total liabilities $ 5,184,563 $ 4,852,243 $ 5,184,047 $ 5,007,483 _______________ 1 The carrying value includes debt issuances costs of $20.5 million and $21.0 million for March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which are not included in fair value. 2 The carrying value includes debt issuances costs of $20.9 million and $21.2 million for March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which are not included in fair value. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The following table presents the Company's financial assets and liabilities by level, within the fair value hierarchy, that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis: Puget Energy and Fair Value Fair Value (Dollars in Thousands) Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Electric derivative instruments $ 40,936 $ 30,914 $ 71,850 $ 42,254 $ 50,774 $ 93,028 Natural gas derivative instruments 12,312 4,225 16,537 11,647 4,874 16,521 Total assets $ 53,248 $ 35,139 $ 88,387 $ 53,901 $ 55,648 $ 109,549 Liabilities: Electric derivative instruments $ 94,078 $ 27,349 $ 121,427 $ 103,427 $ 23,512 $ 126,939 Natural gas derivative instruments 54,482 828 55,310 95,875 1,023 96,898 Compliance obligations 120,278 — 120,278 168,879 — 168,879 Total liabilities $ 268,838 $ 28,177 $ 297,015 $ 368,181 $ 24,535 $ 392,716 The following table presents the Company's reconciliation of the changes in the fair value of Level 3 derivatives in the fair value hierarchy: Puget Energy and Three Months Ended March 31, (Dollars in Thousands) 2024 2023 Level 3 Roll-Forward Net Asset/(Liability) Electric Natural Gas Total Electric Natural Gas Total Balance at beginning of period $ 27,262 $ 3,851 $ 31,113 $ 116,078 $ (127) $ 115,951 Changes during period: Realized and unrealized energy derivatives: Included in earnings 1 (44,017) — (44,017) (18,766) — (18,766) Included in regulatory assets / liabilities — 459 459 — (91) (91) Settlements 20,320 (913) 19,407 (27,795) 263 (27,532) Transferred into Level 3 — — — — — — Transferred out of Level 3 — — — 217 170 387 Balance at end of period $ 3,565 $ 3,397 $ 6,962 $ 69,734 $ 215 $ 69,949 _______________ 1 Income Statement locations: Unrealized gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net. Amounts include unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives still held in position as of the reporting date for electric derivatives of $(38.4) million and $(9.1) million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Realized gains and losses on energy derivatives for Level 3 recurring items are included in energy costs in the Company's consolidated statements of income under purchased electricity, electric generation fuel or purchased natural gas when settled. Unrealized gains and losses on energy derivatives for Level 3 recurring items are included in net unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments in the Company's consolidated statements of income. The Company does not use internally developed models to make adjustments to significant unobservable pricing inputs. The only significant unobservable input into the fair value measurement of the Company's Level 3 assets and liabilities is the forward price for electric and natural gas contracts. The weighted average price is calculated as the total market value divided by the total volume of the Company's Level 3 electric and natural gas commodity contracts, respectively, as of the reporting date. The following table presents the forward price ranges for the Company's Level 3 commodity contracts as of March 31, 2024: Puget Energy and Fair Value Range (Dollars in Thousands) Assets 1 Liabilities 1 Valuation Technique Unobservable Input Low High Weighted Average Electric $ 30,914 $ 27,349 Discounted cash flow Power prices (per MWh) $ 20.57 $ 159.55 $ 92.42 Natural gas $ 4,225 $ 828 Discounted cash flow Natural gas prices (per MMBtu) $ 1.31 $ 6.61 $ 4.23 _______________ 1 The valuation techniques, unobservable inputs and ranges are the same for asset and liability positions. The following table presents the forward price ranges for the Company's Level 3 commodity contracts as of December 31, 2023: Puget Energy and Fair Value Range (Dollars in Thousands) Assets 1 Liabilities 1 Valuation Technique Unobservable Input Low High Weighted Average Electric $ 50,774 $ 23,512 Discounted cash flow Power prices (per MWh) $ 69.51 $ 188.63 $ 99.55 Natural gas $ 4,875 $ 1,023 Discounted cash flow Natural gas prices (per MMBtu) $ 2.20 $ 6.28 $ 3.55 _______________ 1 The valuation techniques, unobservable inputs and ranges are the same for asset and liability positions. The significant unobservable inputs listed above would have a direct impact on the fair values of the above instruments if they were adjusted. Consequently, significant increases or decreases in the forward prices of electricity or natural gas in isolation would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value for Level 3 assets and liabilities. Generally, interrelationships exist between market prices of natural gas and power. As such, an increase in natural gas pricing would potentially have a similar impact on forward power markets. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in market prices of natural gas and electricity would change the fair value of the Company's derivative portfolio, classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy, by $29.9 million and $16.9 million, respectively. Long-Lived Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis Puget Energy records the fair value of its intangible assets in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” (ASC 360). The fair value assigned to the power contracts was determined using an income approach comparing the contract rate to the market rate for power over the remaining period of the contracts incorporating non-performance risk. Management also incorporated certain assumptions related to quantities and market presentation that it believes market participants would make in the valuation. The fair value of the power contracts is amortized as the contracts settle. ASC 360 requires long-lived assets to be tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. One such triggering event is a significant decrease in the forward market prices of power. As of March 31, 2024, Puget Energy completed valuation and impairment testing of its power purchase contracts classified as intangible assets and determined that no impairment was needed. These intangible assets exist as a result of the merger in 2009, at which time the consolidated assets and liabilities were revalued in accordance with ASC 805, "Business Combinations." |

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Disclosure [Text Block] | Retirement Benefits PSE has a defined benefit pension plan (Qualified Pension Benefits) covering a substantial majority of PSE employees. For employees hired prior to 2014, pension benefits earned are a function of age, salary, years of service and, in the case of employees in the cash balance formula plan, the applicable annual interest crediting rates. Effective January 1, 2014, all new UA represented employees hired or rehired receive annual pay credits of 4.0% of eligible pay each year in the cash balance formula of the defined pension plan. Effective January 1, 2014 for non-represented employees, and December 12, 2014 for employees represented by the IBEW, newly hired or rehired employees receive annual employer contributions of 4.0% of eligible pay each year into the cash balance formula of the defined benefit pension or 401k plan account. PSE also has a non-qualified SERP for certain key senior management employees that closed to new participants in 2019. Effective 2019, PSE has an officer restoration benefit for new officers who join PSE or are promoted, such that company contributions under PSE’s applicable tax-qualified plan, which otherwise would have been credited if not for IRS limitations, are credited at 4.0% of earnings to an account with the Deferred Compensation Plan. In addition to providing pension benefits, PSE provides legacy group health care and life insurance benefits (Other Benefits) for certain retired employees. The group health care benefit is provided via a Retiree Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) Plan effective January 1, 2020. The life insurance benefits are provided principally through an insurance company. Puget Energy's retirement plans were remeasured as a result of the merger in 2009, which represents the difference between Puget Energy and PSE's retirement plans. The components of service cost are included within utility operations and maintenance for PSE and within non-utility expense and other for Puget Energy while all non-service cost components are included in other income. For further information, see Note 13, "Retirement Benefits" in the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Company's Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2023.

Regulation and Rates Disclosure | Regulation and Rates General Rate Case PSE filed a GRC which includes a two year MYRP with the Washington Commission on February 15, 2024, requesting an overall increase in electric and natural gas rates of 6.7% and 19.0% respectively in rate year one (expected to approximate calendar year 2025) and 8.5% and 2.1%, respectively in rate year two (expected to approximate calendar year 2026). PSE requested a return on equity of 9.95% for the first rate year beginning in 2025 and 10.5% for the second rate year beginning in 2026. PSE requested an overall rate of return of 7.65% in rate year one and 7.99% in rate year two. The filing requests recovery of forecasted plant additions through 2024 as required by Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 80.28.425 as well as forecasted plant additions through 2026, the final year of the MYRP. The procedural calendar for the adjudication of the case is set, with evidentiary hearing occurring on November 4th and 5th of 2024. The Company estimates the approved rates from this proceeding will become effective by statute approximately 11 months after filings. On December 22, 2022, the Washington Commission issued an order on PSE’s 2022 GRC, which was filed on January 31, 2022 that approved a weighted cost of capital of 7.16%, or 6.62% after-tax, a capital structure of 49.0% in common equity in 2023 and 2024, and a return on equity of 9.4%. On January 6, 2023, the Washington Commission approved PSE’s natural gas rates in its compliance filing with an overall net revenue change of $70.8 million or 6.4% in 2023 and $19.5 million or 1.7% in 2024, with an effective date of January 7, 2023. On January 10, 2023, the Washington Commission approved PSE’s electric rates in its compliance filing with an overall net revenue change of $247.0 million or 10.8% in 2023 and $33.1 million or 1.3% in 2024 with an effective date of January 11, 2023. Per the 2022 GRC Final Order in Docket No. UE-220066, power cost only rate case (PCORC) rates were set to zero as of January 11, 2023 and PSE agreed not to file a PCORC during 2023 and 2024, the period covered by the two-year rate plan agreed to in the GRC settlement. Per the 2022 GRC Final Order in Docket No. UG-220067, PSE was authorized to seek recovery of the costs related to the Tacoma LNG Facility concurrent with its 2023 PGA filing. On April 24, 2024, the Washington Commission issued Final Order 07 under Docket No. UG-230393. The order determined that PSE acted prudently in developing and constructing the Tacoma LNG Facility after the initial decision to build on September 2016. Further, there were two main outcomes that resulted from the order. First, the Washington Commission did not authorize recovery of the portion of the Company’s deferred return on its investment in the Tacoma LNG Facility that was recorded between February 1, 2022, the date the facility was placed into service, and January 11, 2023, the date PSE’s 2022 GRC rates went into effect. Second, the Washington Commission directed PSE to increase the allocation of distribution pipeline investment to Puget LNG. The Washington Commission determined that the allocation should be tied to the relative flow of natural gas across these facilities, resulting in a higher allocation to Puget LNG than was originally filed. Neither the deferred return disallowed, nor the increased allocation of distribution pipeline, are expected to result in material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. However, PSE is required to submit a compliance filing, which is subject to the Washington Commission's approval before the outcome is finalized. For further information, see Note 4, "Regulation and Rates" in the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Company's Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2023. Climate Commitment Act Deferral On December 29, 2022, PSE filed accounting petitions with the Washington Commission requesting authorization to defer costs and revenues associated with the Company’s compliance with the CCA codified in law within RCW 70A.65. On February 28, 2023, in Order 01 in Docket No. UE-220974 and UG-220975, the Washington Commission granted PSE approval to defer the cost of emission allowances to comply with the CCA and the proceeds from no-cost allowances consigned to auction beginning January 1, 2023. On August 3, 2023, the Washington Commission approved PSE's request for CCA rates in Docket No. UG-230470, subject to refund, effective October 1, 2023, to recover the estimated ongoing allowance costs and proportionate pass back of credits to customers from estimated auction proceeds during the period of August 2023 through December 2023. On October 26, 2023, the Washington Commission approved PSE's request for CCA rates in Docket No. UG-230756, subject to refund, effective November 1, 2023, to recover the estimated ongoing allowance costs and proportionate pass back of credit to customers from estimated auction proceeds during the period of January 2023 through September 2023. On November 22, 2023, PSE filed proposed revisions to its natural gas rates to incorporate allowance costs and auction proceeds in Docket UG-230968. In the filing PSE sought to update rates pertaining to amounts deferred from January 2023 through September 2023 and to add new language to the tariff that would enable PSE to fund decarbonization projects using a portion of the projected no cost allowances revenues. The request, as revised by PSE on December 19, 2023, represented a revenue increase of $29.1 million. The Washington Commission suspended the tariff sheets but allowed the rates to go into effect on an interim basis, subject to refund, on January 1, 2024. The Washington Commission set for hearing the issue of risk sharing of CCA compliance costs. A hearing is set for October 9, 2024. The recovery of ongoing allowance costs and pass back of credits is consistent with the approved accounting petitions in Dockets No. UG-220975 and UG-230471. As of March 31, 2024, PSE deferred $25.9 million of CCA compliance costs for natural gas and electric liabilities. Additionally, PSE will consign for auction at least the minimum amount of no-cost emission allowances allocated for natural gas operations in compliance with the CCA, the proceeds of which will be used for the benefit of natural gas customers, as determined by the Washington Commission. PSE will not record a regulatory liability to defer the proceeds until consigned allowances are sold at auction. As of March 31, 2024, PSE recorded a regulatory liability of $25.9 million related to the proceeds from the sale of consigned GHG emission allowances to be refunded to customers. WDOE provided an initial allocation of no-cost allowances to electric utilities on April 24, 2023. However, qualifying electric utilities were allowed to submit revised emissions forecasts approved by the Washington Commission to WDOE. PSE filed its revised forecast of 2023 emission in Docket No. UE 220797, which was approved by the Washington Commission on July 27, 2023, and approved by the WDOE on September 27, 2023. Accordingly, the Company's compliance obligation as of March 31, 2024 reflects the revised allowance allocation in addition to allowances received based on PSE's forecast of 2024 emissions. Following the September 27, 2023 WDOE decision, PSE's no-cost allowance allocation will be set until the fourth quarter of 2024 when there is an opportunity to request a "true-up" of no-cost allowances under the aforementioned adjustment mechanism. However, as of March 31, 2024, due to the uncertainty around implementation of the adjustment mechanism PSE did not adjust the CCA electric compliance obligation anticipating an adjustment to no cost allowances to reported 2024 electric GHG emissions and does not plan to make such adjustment until a formal true-up allocation has been granted by the WDOE. Revenue Decoupling Adjustment Mechanism PSE performed an analysis to determine if electric and natural gas decoupling revenue deferrals would be collected from customers within 24 months of the annual period, per ASC 980. If not, for GAAP purposes only, PSE would need to record a reserve against the decoupling revenue and corresponding regulatory asset balance. Once the reserve is probable of collection within 24 months from the end of the annual period, the reserve can be recognized as decoupling revenue. Based on the analyses, no reserve adjustment was recorded as of March 31, 2024 or 2023. Power Cost Adjustment Mechanism PSE currently has a PCA mechanism that provides for the deferral of power costs that vary from the “power cost baseline” level of power costs. The “power cost baseline” levels are set, in part, based on normalized assumptions about weather and hydroelectric conditions. Excess power costs or savings are apportioned between PSE and its customers pursuant to the graduated scale set forth in the PCA mechanism and will trigger a surcharge or refund when the cumulative deferral trigger is reached. The following graduated scale is used in the PCA mechanism: Company’s Share Customers' Share Annual Power Cost Variability Over Under Over Under Over or under collected up to $17 million 100 % 100 % — % — % Over or under collected between $17 million - $40 million 35 50 65 50 Over or under collected beyond $40 million 10 10 90 90 For the three months ended March 31, 2024, in its PCA mechanism, PSE under recovered its allowable costs by $110.7 million of which $75.2 million was apportioned to customers and $0.4 million of interest was accrued on the deferred customer balance. This compares to an over recovery of allowable costs of $12.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, of which zero was apportioned to customers and accrued $1.1 million of interest on the total deferred customer balance. Power Cost Adjustment Clause PSE exceeded the $20.0 million cumulative deferral balance in its PCA mechanism in 2022. During 2022, actual power costs were higher than baseline power costs, thereby, creating an under-recovery of $110.1 million. Under the terms of the PCA’s sharing mechanism for under-recovered power costs, PSE absorbed $39.0 million of the under-recovered amount, and customers were responsible for the remaining $71.1 million, or $76.4 million including interest and adjusted for revenue sensitive items. On April 28, 2023, PSE filed the 2022 PCA report in Docket No. UE-230313 that proposed a recovery of the deferred balance, which included a revenue requirement increase of 0.9% in overall bill for all customers, with rates proposed to go into effect from December 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024. On September 29, 2023, PSE filed its variable power cost rates update as part of the 2022 GRC Order requirement in Docket No. UE-220066. The filing was approved in part on December 22, 2023, with updated rates effective January 1, 2024. PSE exceeded the $20.0 million cumulative deferral balance in its PCA mechanism in 2023. During 2023, actual power costs were lower than baseline power costs, thereby creating an over-recovery of $51.1 million. Under the terms of the PCA’s sharing mechanism for over-recovered costs, PSE’s share of the over-recovery was $26.2 million and customers were due the remaining $24.9 million, or $22.2 million including interest and adjusted for revenue sensitive items. On April 30, 2024, PSE filed the 2023 PCA compliance report, in Docket No. 240288, that proposed to pass back 2023 deferred balances from October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025, resulting in credits to customers of $22.2 million. Additionally, PSE requested to recover the forecasted 2024 deferred balance of $98.2 million from October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025. Purchased Gas Adjustment Mechanism In October 2022, the Washington Commission approved PSE's request for PGA rates in Docket No. UG-220715, effective November 1, 2022. As part of that filing, PSE requested an annual revenue increase of $155.3 million, where PGA rates, under Schedule 101, increase annual revenue by $142.1 million, and the tracker rates under Schedule 106 increase annual revenue by $13.2 million. In November 2022, the FERC approved a settlement of a counterparty, FERC Docket No. RP17-346. Under the terms, PSE was allocated $24.2 million related to PSE natural gas services, which was recorded on December 31, 2022 and included below. The 2022 GRC order required PSE to amortize the refund in 2023 as a credit against natural gas costs and therefore pass back the refund to customers through the PGA mechanism. On October 26, 2023, the Washington Commission approved PSE's request for PGA rates in Docket No. UG-230769, effective November 1, 2023. As part of that filing, PSE requested an annual revenue decrease of $309.4 million, where PGA rates, under Schedule 101, decrease annual revenue by $93.9 million, and the tracker rates under Schedule 106, decrease annual revenue by $215.5 million. The annual 2023 PGA rate decreases include the aforementioned counterparty settlement pass back of $28.1 million under Supplemental Schedule 106B.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure | Commitments and Contingencies Legal Matters Washington Climate Commitment Act In 2021, the Washington Legislature adopted the CCA, which establishes a GHG emissions cap-and-invest program that requires covered entities, including electric and natural gas utilities, to purchase allowances to cover their GHG emissions with a cap on available allowances beginning on January 1, 2023 that declines annually through 2050. WDOE published final regulations to implement the program on September 29, 2022, which became effective on October 30, 2022. WDOE also indicated that there will be subsequent rulemakings building off initial rulemaking as program implementation proceeds and Washington carbon goal progress is evaluated. Given the lack of explicit rulemaking or precedent around the program, there is wide estimation uncertainty surrounding the Company's ability to estimate its compliance obligation. For instance, one component of the CCA rules stipulates that GHG emissions associated with exported electricity are covered emissions and require an allowance offset to the extent these exports are not sourced from a non-emitting resource. Another component of the CCA rules stipulates GHG emissions associated with imported electricity are covered emissions and require an allowance offset for the first jurisdictional deliverer serving as the electricity importer for that electricity. Per RCW 70A.65.010(42)(d), imported electricity does not include electricity imports of unspecified electricity that are netted by exports of unspecified electricity to any jurisdiction not covered by a linked program by the same entity within the same hour. Under this definition, hourly power transmission data is required to determine PSE’s net imported electricity compliance obligation. Although the Company is actively engaged in determining the hourly net generation, imports and exports, the methodology for netting these components by hour that will be required by the WDOE to calculate the compliance obligation is uncertain, and PSE expects further rulemaking and agency interpretations to clarify this uncertainty in future periods. Due to the estimation uncertainty as of the date of this disclosure, the company considered a range of outcomes and recorded its best estimate based on its interpretation of the proportion of exported electricity that is sourced from non-emitting resources and the netting of unspecified electricity imports and exports on an hourly basis. As of March 31, 2024, the Company estimated the range of possible outcomes to be between $38.1 million and $130.9 million, and recorded its best estimate of $55.0 million based on the Company's interpretation of the current rulemaking. As existing uncertainties are resolved in future periods, any change in compliance costs as a result of such estimated additional liabilities would be deferred under ASC 980 as a regulatory asset consistent with Docket No. UE-220974, as these amounts will be recoverable from customers in future utility rates. As a result, there is no current impact to the Company's consolidated statements of income. Colstrip PSE has a 50% ownership interest in Colstrip Units 1 and 2 and a 25% interest in each of Colstrip Units 3 and 4, which are coal-fired generating units located in Colstrip, Montana. PSE has accelerated the depreciation of Colstrip Units 3 and 4 to December 31, 2025 as part of the 2019 GRC. The 2017 GRC repurposed PTCs and hydro-related treasury grants to recover unrecovered plant costs and to fund and recover decommissioning and remediation costs for Colstrip Units 1 through 4. Additional costs beyond those covered by PTCs and hydro-related treasury grants are being recovered through a separate Colstrip tariff as part of the 2022 GRC. In 2022, PSE and Talen Energy signed an agreement to transfer PSE's ownership interest in Colstrip Units 3 and 4 to Talen Energy on December 31, 2025. However, Talen emerged from a Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May 2023 without approval of the 2022 transfer agreement, which the parties agree makes the transfer agreement unenforceable. PSE and Talen have agreed to continue discussions about the status of PSE’s ownership stake. Management evaluated Colstrip Units 3 and 4 and determined that the applicable held for sale and abandonment accounting criteria were not met as of December 31, 2023. As such, Colstrip Units 3 and 4 are classified as electric utility plant on the Company's balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Other Commitments and Contingencies In addition to the contractual obligations and consolidated commercial commitments disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company entered into new Electric Portfolio and Electric Wholesale Market Transaction contracts with estimated payment obligations totaling $357.0 million through 2026.
