What short-outage Town of Hudson - (MA) filings show
Town of Hudson - (MA) is a municipally-owned utility operating in Massachusetts under EIA identifier 8973. It reports service to approximately 13,421 customer accounts and generated about $0.03 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 10 ZIP codes. As a municipal utility, it is typically governed by a local board or city council and is exempt from federal income tax.
In 2023, the average Town of Hudson - (MA) customer experienced 68.3 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. That is comfortably under the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, a sign of solid grid resilience and quick outage response. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 1.67, putting the typical customer at roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 37.8 minutes, and the spread against the headline 68.3 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.
The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Town of Hudson - (MA), which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. Over that span, SAIDI rose from 34.4 to 68.3 minutes, possibly reflecting tougher weather years or grid upgrades that have not caught up yet.
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.
