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).

Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 316.4 minutes — the gap between that figure and the headline 316.4 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.
