What short-outage City of Bowling Green - (OH) filings show
City of Bowling Green - (OH) is a municipally-owned utility operating in Ohio under EIA identifier 2054. It reports service to approximately 14,752 customer accounts and generated about $0.06 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 2 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 City of Bowling Green - (OH) customer experienced 50.5 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that places this utility well below the 120–180 minute national benchmark, signaling strong grid hardening and fast restoration practices. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 0.27, putting the typical customer at roughly 0 distinct interruptions that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 7.5 minutes; the difference from the headline 50.5 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.
City of Bowling Green - (OH) has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. Over that window, SAIDI moved from 54.9 down to 50.5 minutes, a trend worth noting for anyone weighing 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.
