SUBSIDIARIES OF PUGET ENERGY, INC.

A. INFRASTRUX GROUP, INC. (InfrastruX)

InfrastruX, incorporated in the State of Washington in 2000, is engaged in the non-regulated construction services business. InfrastruX provides infrastructure construction services to the electric and gas utility industries. InfrastruX has acquired 12 companies, primarily in the Midwest, Texas, south-central and eastern United States, that are engaged in some or all of the following services and activities in their respective regions or nationally:

·  
Electric: Overhead and underground power line and cable construction, installation and maintenance, including high-voltage transmission and distribution lines, copper and fiberoptic cables; duct installation; revitalization and damage prevention for underground power lines and cables using the patented Cablecure® treatment; substation construction; and other specialty services for new and existing infrastructures.
