What short-outage City of Peru - (IN) filings show
City of Peru - (IN) is a municipally-owned utility operating in Indiana under EIA identifier 14839. It reports service to approximately 10,751 customer accounts and generated about $0.03 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 2 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 Peru - (IN) customer experienced 61.5 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that keeps this utility below the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, consistent with a well-hardened distribution system and fast restoration crews. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 0.65 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 22.1 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 61.5 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.
City of Peru - (IN) 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 48.7 to 61.5 minutes, possibly reflecting tougher weather years or grid upgrades that have not caught up yet.
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.
