Central Hudson Gas & Elec Corp

What This Utility Data Tells You

Central Hudson Gas & Elec Corp is an investor-owned utility operating in New York under EIA identifier 3249. It reports service to approximately 282,355 customer accounts and generated about $0.65 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 195 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 Central Hudson Gas & Elec Corp customer experienced 344.8 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, 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 1.50 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 150.6 minutes, and the spread against the headline 344.8 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.

The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Central Hudson Gas & Elec Corp, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI has improved from 922.8 to 344.8 minutes over that window, a meaningful direction for prospective customers and regulators watching capital investment outcomes.
