What mid-pack PUD No 1 of Klickitat County filings show
PUD No 1 of Klickitat County is a municipally-owned utility operating in Washington under EIA identifier 10393. It reports service to approximately 14,111 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 20 ZIP codes. 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 Klickitat County customer experienced 168.2 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or 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 0.77 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 1 distinct interruption that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 168.2 minutes, and the spread against the headline 168.2 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.
PUD No 1 of Klickitat County has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. SAIDI dropped from 173.4 to 168.2 minutes across that span, a direction regulators and prospective customers tend to watch closely.
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.
