What This Utility Data Tells You

City of Rockwood - (TN) is a municipally-owned utility operating in Tennessee under EIA identifier 16223. It reports service to approximately 15,303 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 Rockwood - (TN) customer experienced 1029.0 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that places this utility well below the 120–180 minute national benchmark, signaling strong grid hardening and fast restoration practices. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 3.47 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 3 distinct interruptions that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 82.5 minutes; the difference from the headline 1029.0 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

City of Rockwood - (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 241.0 to 1029.0 minutes, possibly reflecting tougher weather years or grid upgrades that have not caught up yet.
