What mid-pack City of New Braunfels - (TX) filings show
City of New Braunfels - (TX) is a municipally-owned utility operating in Texas under EIA identifier 13418. It reports service to approximately 54,124 customer accounts and generated about $0.20 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 2 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 New Braunfels - (TX) customer experienced 107.3 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. Excluding major weather events from that total, that keeps this utility below the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, consistent with a well-hardened distribution system and fast restoration crews. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 0.73, putting the typical customer at roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 42.2 minutes; the difference from the headline 107.3 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 New Braunfels - (TX), which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI has increased from 25.7 to 107.3 minutes, which may reflect either 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. Not a measure of electricity rates or customer service, which this portal does not track.
