What This Utility Data Tells You
City of Chanute is a municipally-owned utility operating in Kansas under EIA identifier 3355. It reports service to approximately 5,598 customer accounts and generated about $0.02 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 1 ZIP code. Municipal ownership means a local board or city council typically oversees this utility, and it is exempt from federal income tax.
In 2021, the average City of Chanute customer experienced 101.7 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that keeps this utility below the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, consistent with a well-hardened distribution system and fast restoration crews. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 1.02, putting the typical customer at roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 4.0 minutes; the difference from the headline 101.7 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.
The EIA dataset includes 2 years of continuous reporting (2020–2021) for City of Chanute, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI has increased from 89.8 to 101.7 minutes, which may reflect either worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
