City of Kirkwood - (MO)

What This Utility Data Tells You

City of Kirkwood - (MO) is a municipally-owned utility operating in Missouri under EIA identifier 10370. It reports service to approximately 10,324 customer accounts and generated about $0.03 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 5 ZIP codes.

In 2023, the average City of Kirkwood - (MO) customer experienced 1.6 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That keeps this utility below the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, consistent with a well-hardened distribution system and fast restoration crews. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 0.07 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 0 distinct interruptions that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 1.6 minutes; the difference from the headline 1.6 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), City of Kirkwood - (MO)'s reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI dropped from 25.5 to 1.6 minutes across that span, a direction regulators and prospective customers tend to watch closely. 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 Kirkwood - (MO)'s other reported years.
