What This Utility Data Tells You

Nebraska Public Power District is a municipally-owned utility operating in Nebraska under EIA identifier 13337. It reports service to approximately 92,543 customer accounts and generated about $0.26 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 133 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 Nebraska Public Power District customer experienced 69.7 minutes of power interruptions — a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That places this utility well below the 120–180 minute national benchmark, signaling strong grid hardening and fast restoration practices. SAIFI — the average number of outage events per customer — was 0.60 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 69.7 minutes — the gap between that figure and the headline 69.7 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Nebraska Public Power District, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI has improved from 118.1 to 69.7 minutes over that window — a meaningful direction for prospective customers and regulators watching capital investment outcomes. All figures on this page come directly from EIA Form 861, the federal annual electric power industry survey, with service territory ZIPs sourced from OpenEI — you can cross-reference them with your own utility bill or use them when comparing providers before relocating.
