What This Utility Data Tells You
Dawson Power District is a municipally-owned utility operating in Nebraska under EIA identifier 4911. It reports service to approximately 23,408 customer accounts and generated about $0.07 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 49 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 Dawson Power District customer experienced 158.5 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (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. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 85.3 minutes; the difference from the headline 158.5 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.
With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Dawson Power District's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI climbed from 120.5 to 158.5 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
