Puget Sound Energy Inc

What This Utility Data Tells You

Puget Sound Energy Inc is an investor-owned utility operating in Washington under EIA identifier 15500. It reports service to approximately 1,223,116 customer accounts and generated about $2.73 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 250 ZIP codes. As an investor-owned utility, it operates under state public utility commission oversight that reviews rate cases and reliability performance.

In 2023, the average Puget Sound Energy Inc customer experienced 203.0 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That lands within the usual 120–180 minute national benchmark band, roughly on par with typical U.S. distribution-utility performance. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 1.30, putting the typical customer at roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 167.0 minutes, and the spread against the headline 203.0 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.

Puget Sound Energy Inc has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. SAIDI has improved from 414.0 to 203.0 minutes over that window, a meaningful direction for prospective customers and regulators watching capital investment outcomes.
