What mid-pack PUD No 1 of Okanogan County filings show
PUD No 1 of Okanogan County is a municipally-owned utility operating in Washington under EIA identifier 14055. It reports service to approximately 22,018 customer accounts and generated about $0.05 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 26 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 Okanogan County customer experienced 211.6 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (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. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 1.21 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 153.9 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 211.6 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.
With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), PUD No 1 of Okanogan County's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. Over that window, SAIDI moved from 308.2 down to 211.6 minutes, a trend worth noting for anyone weighing 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.
