What short-outage Omaha Public Power District filings show
Omaha Public Power District is a municipally-owned utility operating in Nebraska under EIA identifier 14127. It reports service to approximately 407,443 customer accounts and generated about $1.14 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 46 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 Omaha Public Power District customer experienced 80.1 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That keeps this utility below the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, consistent with a well-hardened distribution system and fast restoration crews. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 0.55, putting the typical customer at roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 57.9 minutes, and the spread against the headline 80.1 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.
With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Omaha Public Power District's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI has improved from 129.6 to 80.1 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.
