What short-outage Crawfordsville Elec, Lgt & Pwr filings show
Crawfordsville Elec, Lgt & Pwr is a municipally-owned utility operating in Indiana under EIA identifier 4508. It reports service to approximately 10,175 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 3 ZIP codes.

In 2023, the average Crawfordsville Elec, Lgt & Pwr customer experienced 21.5 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. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 0.10 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 0 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 21.5 minutes, and the spread against the headline 21.5 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.
Crawfordsville Elec, Lgt & Pwr has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. SAIDI has increased from 10.6 to 21.5 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.
