What This Utility Data Tells You
City of Fayetteville is a municipally-owned utility operating in Tennessee under EIA identifier 6234. It reports service to approximately 19,268 customer accounts and generated about $0.05 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 14 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 Fayetteville customer experienced 259.1 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. Excluding major weather events from that total, that lands within the usual 120–180 minute national benchmark band, roughly on par with typical U.S. distribution-utility performance. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 2.75, putting the typical customer at roughly 3 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 126.8 minutes, and the spread against the headline 259.1 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 Fayetteville, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI has improved from 274.7 to 259.1 minutes over that window, a meaningful direction for prospective customers and regulators watching capital investment outcomes.
