What short-outage City of Sturgeon Bay - (WI) filings show
City of Sturgeon Bay - (WI) is a municipally-owned utility operating in Wisconsin under EIA identifier 18249. It reports service to approximately 9,446 customer accounts and generated about $0.02 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 1 ZIP code. 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 Sturgeon Bay - (WI) customer experienced 11.7 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (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. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 0.06, putting the typical customer at roughly 0 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 2.9 minutes, and the spread against the headline 11.7 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.
The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for City of Sturgeon Bay - (WI), which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI has increased from 5.0 to 11.7 minutes, which may reflect either worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization. Note: this figure is unusually low compared to typical U.S. utility performance and may reflect an incomplete EIA filing for this year rather than a genuine reliability improvement -- treat with caution and cross-check against City of Sturgeon Bay - (WI)'s other reported years.
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.
