What mid-pack City of Marquette - (MI) filings show
City of Marquette - (MI) is a municipally-owned utility operating in Michigan under EIA identifier 11701. It reports service to approximately 17,128 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 1 ZIP code. As a municipal utility, it is typically governed by a local board or city council and is exempt from federal income tax.
In 2023, the average City of Marquette - (MI) customer experienced 158.0 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that is comfortably under the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, a sign of solid grid resilience and quick outage response. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 1.40 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 48.9 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 158.0 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.
The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for City of Marquette - (MI), which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI climbed from 79.8 to 158.0 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
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.
