What long-outage City of Anderson - (IN) filings show
City of Anderson - (IN) is a municipally-owned utility operating in Indiana under EIA identifier 636. It reports service to approximately 34,785 customer accounts and generated about $0.09 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 7 ZIP codes. Being municipally owned, the utility answers to a local board or city council rather than a state commission, and carries a federal income tax exemption.
In 2023, the average City of Anderson - (IN) customer experienced 326.9 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or 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. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 1.97 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 2 distinct interruptions that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 161.5 minutes; the difference from the headline 326.9 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.
City of Anderson - (IN) has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. SAIDI has improved from 380.5 to 326.9 minutes over that window, a meaningful direction for prospective customers and regulators watching capital investment outcomes.
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.
