What This Utility Data Tells You

Albany Utility Board is a municipally-owned utility operating in Georgia under EIA identifier 230. It reports service to approximately 33,109 customer accounts and generated about $0.09 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 6 ZIP codes. As a municipal utility, it is typically governed by a local board or city council and is exempt from federal income tax.

In 2023, the average Albany Utility Board customer experienced 116.3 minutes of power interruptions — a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That sits within the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, indicating performance typical of U.S. distribution utilities. SAIFI — the average number of outage events per customer — was 1.28 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 88.4 minutes — the gap between that figure and the headline 116.3 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

Only a single year of reliability data is available, so multi-year trend analysis is not yet possible for Albany Utility Board. All figures on this page come directly from EIA Form 861, the federal annual electric power industry survey, with service territory ZIPs sourced from OpenEI — you can cross-reference them with your own utility bill or use them when comparing providers before relocating.
