Atlantic City Electric Co

What This Utility Data Tells You

Atlantic City Electric Co is a investor-owned utility operating in New Jersey under EIA identifier 963. It reports service to approximately 520,489 customer accounts and generated about $1.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 137 ZIP codes. As an investor-owned utility, it operates under state public utility commission oversight that reviews rate cases and reliability performance.

In 2023, the average Atlantic City Electric Co customer experienced 100.0 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 0.66 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 53.0 minutes — the gap between that figure and the headline 100.0 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Atlantic City Electric Co, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI has improved from 552.0 to 100.0 minutes over that window — a meaningful direction for prospective customers and regulators watching capital investment outcomes. 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.
