- U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) Form 861:
eia.gov/electricity/data/eia861/— Official annual utility-level SAIDI, SAIFI, and CAIDI reliability filings (Reliability_2024.xlsx), residential electricity revenues, MWh sales, and customer counts (Sales_Ult_Cust_2024.xlsx&Short_Form_2024.xlsx), and county service territories. - U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) / NREL OpenEI Utility Rate Lookup:

When a smaller municipal or rural cooperative utility files EIA Short Form 861-S (which exempts small utilities from IEEE 1366 SAIDI reporting), we display that utility's exact 2024 customer count and residential electricity rate alongside its state's official EIA-861 State Total reliability benchmark, and clearly label the source in the table.
