Beaches Energy Services is a municipally-owned utility operating in Florida under EIA identifier 9616. It reports service to approximately 35,978 customer accounts and generated about $0.11 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 5 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 Beaches Energy Services customer experienced 36.5 minutes of power interruptions — a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That places this utility well below the 120–180 minute national benchmark, signaling strong grid hardening and fast restoration practices. SAIFI — the average number of outage events per customer — was 0.54 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 1 distinct interruption that year.
The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Beaches Energy Services, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI has increased from 31.8 to 36.5 minutes, which may reflect either worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization. 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.

SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index) measures the average total minutes per year that a customer of Beaches Energy Services experiences power outages. A lower SAIDI indicates better reliability. The national average is roughly 120-180 minutes per year, so comparing Beaches Energy Services's SAIDI to that benchmark shows whether this utility is above or below average.
Beaches Energy Services serves approximately 35,978 customers in Florida. Customer count can affect reliability metrics because larger utilities may face different infrastructure challenges compared to smaller ones.
Beaches Energy Services has 4 years of reliability data (2020-2023). SAIDI has remained relatively stable over this period. Review the trend table above for year-by-year detail.
SAIDI "without major event days" (SAIDI nMED) excludes outages caused by hurricanes, ice storms, and other catastrophic weather events. It better reflects day-to-day infrastructure reliability rather than vulnerability to extreme weather. Both standard SAIDI and SAIDI nMED are shown in the reliability trend table above.
