What This Utility Data Tells You

City of Paris - (TN) is a municipally-owned utility operating in Tennessee under EIA identifier 14455. It reports service to approximately 22,476 customer accounts and generated about $0.05 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 15 ZIP codes. 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 Paris - (TN) customer experienced 1723.0 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. Excluding major weather events from that total, that runs well past the 120–180 minute national benchmark, which can reflect storm-exposed terrain, an aging grid, or slower restoration times. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 9.57, putting the typical customer at roughly 10 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 373.0 minutes, and the spread against the headline 1723.0 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.

City of Paris - (TN) has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. Over that span, SAIDI rose from 937.7 to 1723.0 minutes, possibly reflecting tougher weather years or grid upgrades that have not caught up yet.
