What short-outage Beaches Energy Services filings show
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. Municipal ownership means a local board or city council typically oversees this utility, and it is exempt from federal income tax.
In 2023, the average Beaches Energy Services customer experienced 36.5 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That is comfortably under the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, a sign of solid grid resilience and quick outage response. 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 climbed from 31.8 to 36.5 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
Based on this utility's own EIA Form 861 reliability record -- baseline (major-event- excluded) outage duration, total outage duration, and outage frequency -- each benchmarked against every reporting utility nationwide. Not a measure of electricity rates or customer service, which this portal does not track.
