Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 76.4 minutes — the gap between that figure and the headline 76.4 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Cornhusker Public Power Dist, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI has improved from 184.3 to 76.4 minutes over that window — a meaningful direction for prospective customers and regulators watching capital investment outcomes. All figures on this page come directly from EIA Form 861, the federal annual electric power industry survey, with service territory ZIPs sourced from OpenEI — you can cross-reference them with your own utility bill or use them when comparing providers before relocating.
