Custer Public Power District

What This Utility Data Tells You

Custer Public Power District is a municipally-owned utility operating in Nebraska under EIA identifier 4671. It reports service to approximately 11,040 customer accounts and generated about $0.03 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 44 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 Custer Public Power District customer experienced 89.4 minutes of power interruptions — a metric called SAIDI (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. SAIFI — the average number of outage events per customer — was 0.80 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 82.2 minutes — the gap between that figure and the headline 89.4 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

Only a single year of reliability data is available, so multi-year trend analysis is not yet possible for Custer Public Power District. 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.
