What long-outage PUD No 1 of Jefferson County filings show

PUD No 1 of Jefferson County is a municipally-owned utility operating in Washington under EIA identifier 59013. It reports service to approximately 20,873 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue. Municipal ownership means a local board or city council typically oversees this utility, and it is exempt from federal income tax.

In 2023, the average PUD No 1 of Jefferson County customer experienced 316.4 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That runs well past the 120–180 minute national benchmark, which can reflect storm-exposed terrain, an aging grid, or slower restoration times. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 1.74 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 2 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 316.4 minutes, and the spread against the headline 316.4 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.

With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), PUD No 1 of Jefferson County's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. Over that window, SAIDI moved from 397.6 down to 316.4 minutes, a trend worth noting for anyone weighing capital investment outcomes.
