City of Starkville

What This Utility Data Tells You

City of Starkville is a municipally-owned utility operating in Mississippi under EIA identifier 18006. It reports service to approximately 14,480 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 2 ZIP codes. Municipal ownership means a local board or city council typically oversees this utility, and it is exempt from federal income tax.

In 2023, the average City of Starkville customer experienced 82.7 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That is comfortably under the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, a sign of solid grid resilience and quick outage response. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 1.60 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 82.7 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 82.7 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

City of Starkville has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. SAIDI has improved from 107.1 to 82.7 minutes over that window, a meaningful direction for prospective customers and regulators watching capital investment outcomes.
