In 2023, the average City of New Richmond customer experienced 23.7 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. That is comfortably under the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, a sign of solid grid resilience and quick outage response.
