US Power Outage Reports
How much power does the average American lose each year — and is it getting worse? These annual reports are built from a decade of DOE/ORNL EAGLE-I outage data.
Average hours without power per US customer, by year
SAIDI — total outage time divided across all customers (includes major storm days).
2024 was the worst year of the decade (12.6 hrs per customer). In 2025 the average US customer lost power for 5.9 hours — 2.1× the 2015 figure.
