What short-outage City of Denton - (TX) filings show

It reports service to approximately 62,556 customer accounts and generated about $0.20 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 8 ZIP codes.

In 2023, the average City of Denton - (TX) customer experienced 35.8 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index).

Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 0.37, putting the typical customer at roughly 0 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 35.8 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 35.8 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.
The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for City of Denton - (TX), which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI climbed from 34.6 to 35.8 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
Based on this utility's own EIA Form 861 reliability record -- baseline (major-event- excluded) outage duration, total outage duration, and outage frequency -- each benchmarked against every reporting utility nationwide.
