What mid-pack Weatherford Mun Utility System filings show
Weatherford Mun Utility System is a municipally-owned utility operating in Texas under EIA identifier 20230. It reports service to approximately 16,331 customer accounts and generated about $0.05 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 3 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 Weatherford Mun Utility System customer experienced 99.0 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. Excluding major weather events from that total, that is comfortably under the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, a sign of solid grid resilience and quick outage response. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 0.86 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 24.0 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 99.0 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.
With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Weatherford Mun Utility System's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI has increased from 14.0 to 99.0 minutes, which may reflect either worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
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.
