What drives outage time in Nevada
About 60% of Nevada’s 2024 outage time came from major events, so the busiest weeks for Nevada crews and contractors are also the hardest to plan. That makes storm documentation, crew tracking, and fast closeout the work that protects margin in Nevada.
Nevada held fairly steady year over year, at 138.7 minutes in 2023 and 158.9 minutes in 2024. Excluding major events, Nevada averaged just 63.8 minutes in 2024, well under the U.S. figure of 126 minutes, so storm response is where most of the Nevada upside sits. Crews working in Nevada also contend with wildfire risk, high winds, heavy mountain snow, and long lines through remote country.

From there we build the first piece, often a storm dashboard or a closeout checklist, around the way your Nevada teams already work. TAKKEL’s leadership comes from power and storm operations, so the conversation starts in your vocabulary. See how we work.
Frequently asked questions
How long were Nevada customers without power in 2024?
EIA data shows Nevada customers averaged 158.9 minutes without power in 2024, about 2.6 hours, including major events. That compares with 138.7 minutes in Nevada in 2023 and a U.S. average of 611.3 minutes in 2024. Excluding major events, the Nevada figure was 63.8 minutes.
What share of Nevada outage time came from major events?
About 60% of Nevada’s 2024 outage minutes came from major events, based on EIA figures with and without them (158.9 versus 63.8 minutes). In Nevada, that makes storm season the main driver of crew workload, documentation volume, and billing risk.

What weather and terrain challenges affect utility work in Nevada?
Utility crews in Nevada deal with wildfire risk, high winds, heavy mountain snow, and long lines through remote country. Those conditions shape how Nevada utilities and contractors plan staffing, stage equipment, and document work. The EIA figures above show how much of that risk became customer outage time that year.
