Elkhorn Rural Public Pwr Dist is a municipally-owned utility operating in Nebraska under EIA identifier 5780. It reports service to approximately 10,124 customer accounts and generated about $0.03 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 28 ZIP codes.

In 2023, the average Elkhorn Rural Public Pwr Dist customer experienced 155.9 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. That falls inside the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, in line with what most U.S. distribution utilities report. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 0.62, putting the typical customer at roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 124.4 minutes; the difference from the headline 155.9 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

Elkhorn Rural Public Pwr Dist 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 118.7 to 155.9 minutes, which may reflect either worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
