What short-outage Loup River Public Power Dist filings show
Loup River Public Power Dist is a municipally-owned utility operating in Nebraska under EIA identifier 11251. It reports service to approximately 20,547 customer accounts and generated about $0.09 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 18 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 Loup River Public Power Dist customer experienced 26.5 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, 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 0.50, putting the typical customer at roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 13.2 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 26.5 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.
With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Loup River Public Power Dist's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI has improved from 32.4 to 26.5 minutes over that window, a meaningful direction for prospective customers and regulators watching capital investment outcomes.
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.
