City of Ocala

What This Utility Data Tells You

City of Ocala is a municipally-owned utility operating in Florida under EIA identifier 13955. It reports service to approximately 57,113 customer accounts and generated about $0.13 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 6 ZIP codes. Being municipally owned, the utility answers to a local board or city council rather than a state commission, and carries a federal income tax exemption.

In 2023, the average City of Ocala customer experienced 125.6 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. That sits within the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, indicating performance typical of U.S. distribution utilities. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 1.36, putting the typical customer at roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 118.4 minutes; the difference from the headline 125.6 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 Ocala's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI dropped from 132.0 to 125.6 minutes across that span, a direction regulators and prospective customers tend to watch closely.
