Bonneville Power Administration lists the county too but reported no residential sales in Washington under its own name.
The median SAIDI they reported was 116.1 minutes per customer including major event days; the median among all Washington utilities reporting was 255.4.
The Census Bureau estimates the county's population at 46,473. EIA does not publish customers by county, so which utility serves a given address has to be confirmed with the utility or the state utility commission.
Average price is revenue divided by sales for the sector and year; it is not a tariff rate. Reliability figures are as reported by utilities to EIA on Form 861 and may use different calculation methods. Figures are for each utility's whole Washington operation; EIA publishes nothing at county level.
