In 2023, the average City of McPherson - (KS) customer experienced 126.6 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (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.

Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 46.6 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 126.6 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

City of McPherson - (KS) has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. SAIDI climbed from 8.6 to 126.6 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
