What short-outage Overton Power District No 5 filings show
Overton Power District No 5 is a municipally-owned utility operating in Nevada under EIA identifier 14245. It reports service to approximately 18,084 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 12 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 Overton Power District No 5 customer experienced 33.3 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (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. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 0.63 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 1 distinct interruption that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 20.2 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 33.3 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.
Overton Power District No 5 has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. SAIDI has improved from 36.0 to 33.3 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.
