City of Manassas - (VA) is a municipally-owned utility operating in Virginia under EIA identifier 11560. It reports service to approximately 16,611 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 4 ZIP codes.

In 2023, the average City of Manassas - (VA) customer experienced 153.2 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. That lands within the usual 120–180 minute national benchmark band, roughly on par with typical U.S. distribution-utility performance. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 4.22 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 4 distinct interruptions that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 153.2 minutes; the difference from the headline 153.2 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for City of Manassas - (VA), which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI climbed from 48.3 to 153.2 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
