What short-outage Custer Public Power District filings show
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. 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 Custer Public Power District customer experienced 89.4 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. That keeps this utility below the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, consistent with a well-hardened distribution system and fast restoration crews. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 0.80 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 1 distinct interruption that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 82.2 minutes; the difference from the headline 89.4 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.
Only a single year of reliability data is available, so multi-year trend analysis is not yet possible for Custer Public Power District.
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.
