Norris Public Power District

What This Utility Data Tells You

Norris Public Power District is a municipally-owned utility operating in Nebraska under EIA identifier 13664. It reports service to approximately 26,973 customer accounts and generated about $0.09 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 96 ZIP codes. Being municipally owned, the utility answers to a local board or city council rather than a state commission, and carries a federal income tax exemption.

In 2023, the average Norris Public Power District customer experienced 239.0 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That lands within the usual 120–180 minute national benchmark band, roughly on par with typical U.S. distribution-utility performance. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 1.78 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 238.9 minutes; the difference from the headline 239.0 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

Norris Public Power District 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 224.0 to 239.0 minutes, possibly reflecting tougher weather years or grid upgrades that have not caught up yet.
