What This Utility Data Tells You

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.

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).

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.
