Atlantic City Electric Co

What This Utility Data Tells You

Atlantic City Electric Co is an 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. Investor ownership puts this utility under the regulatory authority of the state public utility commission, which reviews its rate requests and reliability record.

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 keeps this utility below the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, consistent with a well-hardened distribution system and fast restoration crews. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 0.66 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 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. Over that window, SAIDI moved from 552.0 down to 100.0 minutes, a trend worth noting for anyone weighing capital investment outcomes. Note: this figure is unusually low compared to typical U.S. utility performance and may reflect an incomplete EIA filing for this year rather than a genuine reliability improvement -- treat with caution and cross-check against Atlantic City Electric Co's other reported years.
