What mid-pack City of Clinton - (TN) filings show
City of Clinton - (TN) is a municipally-owned utility operating in Tennessee under EIA identifier 3812. It reports service to approximately 30,946 customer accounts and generated about $0.08 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 45 ZIP codes. As a municipal utility, it is typically governed by a local board or city council and is exempt from federal income tax.
In 2023, the average City of Clinton - (TN) customer experienced 163.2 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That places this utility well below the 120–180 minute national benchmark, signaling strong grid hardening and fast restoration practices. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 1.55 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 83.4 minutes; the difference from the headline 163.2 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.
City of Clinton - (TN) has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. SAIDI climbed from 103.9 to 163.2 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
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.
