What mid-pack PUD No 1 of Grays Harbor County filings show

PUD No 1 of Grays Harbor County is a municipally-owned utility operating in Washington under EIA identifier 7548. It reports service to approximately 45,223 customer accounts and generated about $0.11 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 29 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 PUD No 1 of Grays Harbor County customer experienced 256.0 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That falls inside the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, in line with what most U.S. distribution utilities report. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 1.10 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 1 distinct interruption that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 256.0 minutes; the difference from the headline 256.0 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for PUD No 1 of Grays Harbor County, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI dropped from 260.0 to 256.0 minutes across that span, a direction regulators and prospective customers tend to watch closely.
