What mid-pack Norris Public Power District filings show
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.
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.

Price vs. reliability
Where Norris Public Power District sits on price vs. reliability
Among the 781 U.S. utilities large enough to report both revenue per customer and a recent outage record, Norris Public Power District charges more per customer than 82% of them, and is more reliable (lower SAIDI) than 40% of them, placing it in the quadrant where it pays more but is LESS reliable, a premium price without a reliability payoff. Revenue per customer and outage minutes are independent figures: paying more does not guarantee fewer outages.
