What mid-pack City of Scottsboro - (AL) filings show

It reports service to approximately 8,665 customer accounts and generated about $0.03 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 1 ZIP code.

In 2023, the average City of Scottsboro - (AL) customer experienced 184.5 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index).

Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 5.15, putting the typical customer at roughly 5 distinct interruptions that year.
