Henderson City Utility Comm

What This Utility Data Tells You

Henderson City Utility Comm is a municipally-owned utility operating in Kentucky under EIA identifier 8449. It reports service to approximately 11,965 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 2 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 Henderson City Utility Comm customer experienced 34.9 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. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 0.80, putting the typical customer at roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 34.9 minutes, and the spread against the headline 34.9 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.

Henderson City Utility Comm has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. Over that span, SAIDI rose from 31.6 to 34.9 minutes, possibly reflecting tougher weather years or grid upgrades that have not caught up yet.
