What short-outage Cornhusker Public Power Dist filings show
Cornhusker Public Power Dist is a municipally-owned utility operating in Nebraska under EIA identifier 4373. It reports service to approximately 10,356 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 29 ZIP codes. As a municipal utility, it is typically governed by a local board or city council and is exempt from federal income tax.
In 2023, the average Cornhusker Public Power Dist customer experienced 76.4 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That places this utility well below the 120–180 minute national benchmark, signaling strong grid hardening and fast restoration practices. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 76.4 minutes, and the spread against the headline 76.4 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.
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.
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.
