City of Poplar Bluff, MO
This utility did not file a reliability report
City of Poplar Bluff is one of only 12 utilities nationally that filed no outage-frequency or outage-length figures in the most recent federal reliability filing. That is a gap in the reporting, not evidence the grid in Missouri is reliable or unreliable - there is simply nothing filed to measure it against. Check the Missouri state figure below instead, or ask City of Poplar Bluff directly for its own outage history before deciding on a generator.

How City of Poplar Bluff's record was measured
These figures come from EIA Form 861, the reliability report a municipally-owned utility like City of Poplar Bluff files with federal regulators every year - averaged across the whole territory, not any one address or storm.
