What short-outage City of College Station - (TX) filings show

City of College Station - (TX) is a municipally-owned utility operating in Texas under EIA identifier 3940. It reports service to approximately 45,496 customer accounts and generated about $0.13 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 9 ZIP codes. Being municipally owned, the utility answers to a local board or city council rather than a state commission, and carries a federal income tax exemption.

In 2023, the average City of College Station - (TX) customer experienced 39.7 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that is comfortably under the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, a sign of solid grid resilience and quick outage response. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 0.50, putting the typical customer at roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 16.8 minutes; the difference from the headline 39.7 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for City of College Station - (TX), which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. Over that window, SAIDI moved from 48.0 down to 39.7 minutes, a trend worth noting for anyone weighing capital investment outcomes.
