What short-outage City of Frankfort - (KY) filings show
City of Frankfort - (KY) is a municipally-owned utility operating in Kentucky under EIA identifier 6708. It reports service to approximately 21,362 customer accounts and generated about $0.06 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 13 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 Frankfort - (KY) customer experienced 40.1 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that is comfortably under the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, a sign of solid grid resilience and quick outage response. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 0.55, putting the typical customer at roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 17.2 minutes; the difference from the headline 40.1 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.
City of Frankfort - (KY) 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 increased from 32.7 to 40.1 minutes, which may reflect either 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.
