What short-outage City of Paducah - (KY) filings show
City of Paducah - (KY) is a municipally-owned utility operating in Kentucky under EIA identifier 14371. It reports service to approximately 22,736 customer accounts and generated about $0.08 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 4 ZIP codes. Municipal ownership means a local board or city council typically oversees this utility, and it is exempt from federal income tax.
In 2023, the average City of Paducah - (KY) customer experienced 61.8 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (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. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 1.13, putting the typical customer at roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 61.8 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 61.8 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.
City of Paducah - (KY) has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. Over that span, SAIDI rose from 41.7 to 61.8 minutes, possibly reflecting tougher weather years or grid upgrades that have not caught up yet.
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.
