It reports service to approximately 20,031 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 3 ZIP codes.

In 2023, the average City of Lexington - (NC) customer experienced 237.7 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that falls inside the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, in line with what most U.S. distribution utilities report. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 1.63 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 102.7 minutes; the difference from the headline 237.7 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 Lexington - (NC)'s reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. Over that span, SAIDI rose from 126.4 to 237.7 minutes, possibly reflecting tougher weather years or grid upgrades that have not caught up yet.
