What mid-pack City of Cleveland - (OH) filings show
City of Cleveland - (OH) is a municipally-owned utility operating in Ohio under EIA identifier 3762. It reports service to approximately 72,917 customer accounts and generated about $0.19 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 43 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 Cleveland - (OH) customer experienced 162.0 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. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 1.18 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 162.0 minutes, and the spread against the headline 162.0 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.
The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for City of Cleveland - (OH), which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. Over that span, SAIDI rose from 145.1 to 162.0 minutes, possibly reflecting tougher weather years or grid upgrades that have not caught up yet.
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.
