What short-outage City of Kaukauna filings show
City of Kaukauna is a municipally-owned utility operating in Wisconsin under EIA identifier 10056. It reports service to approximately 16,226 customer accounts and generated about $0.06 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 7 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 Kaukauna customer experienced 31.7 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that places this utility well below the 120–180 minute national benchmark, signaling strong grid hardening and fast restoration practices. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 0.68 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 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 31.7 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 Kaukauna, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI has improved from 61.0 to 31.7 minutes over that window, a meaningful direction for prospective customers and regulators watching capital investment outcomes.
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. Not a measure of electricity rates or customer service, which this portal does not track.
