What long-outage Bozrah Light & Power Company filings show

Bozrah Light & Power Company is a municipally-owned utility operating in Connecticut under EIA identifier 2089. It reports service to approximately 2,819 customer accounts and generated about $0.03 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 20 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 Bozrah Light & Power Company customer experienced 278.3 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That sits within the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, indicating performance typical of U.S. distribution utilities. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 1.63, putting the typical customer at roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 276.0 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 278.3 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Bozrah Light & Power Company's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI dropped from 1320.8 to 278.3 minutes across that span, a direction regulators and prospective customers tend to watch closely.
