What short-outage City of Loveland - (CO) filings show
City of Loveland - (CO) is a municipally-owned utility operating in Colorado under EIA identifier 11256. It reports service to approximately 41,268 customer accounts and generated about $0.08 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 5 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 Loveland - (CO) customer experienced 21.4 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or 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 0.27 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 0 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 21.4 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 21.4 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.
City of Loveland - (CO) 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 improved from 30.1 to 21.4 minutes over that window, a meaningful direction for prospective customers and regulators watching capital investment outcomes.
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.
