What short-outage City of Homestead - (FL) filings show
City of Homestead - (FL) is a municipally-owned utility operating in Florida under EIA identifier 8795. It reports service to approximately 26,257 customer accounts and generated about $0.07 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 3 ZIP codes.

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 0.04, putting the typical customer at roughly 0 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 69.7 minutes, and the spread against the headline 69.7 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.
With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), City of Homestead - (FL)'s reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. Note: this figure is unusually low compared to typical U.S. utility performance and may reflect an incomplete EIA filing for this year rather than a genuine reliability improvement -- treat with caution and cross-check against City of Homestead - (FL)'s other reported years.
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.
