What This Utility Data Tells You

City of Thomasville - (GA) is a municipally-owned utility operating in Georgia under EIA identifier 18848. It reports service to approximately 16,640 customer accounts and generated about $0.06 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 3 ZIP codes. 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 Thomasville - (GA) customer experienced 784.5 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that falls inside the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, in line with what most U.S. distribution utilities report. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 5.11, putting the typical customer at roughly 5 distinct interruptions that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 184.7 minutes; the difference from the headline 784.5 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), City of Thomasville - (GA)'s reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. Over that span, SAIDI rose from 199.5 to 784.5 minutes, possibly reflecting tougher weather years or grid upgrades that have not caught up yet.
