What short-outage City of Traverse City - (MI) filings show

In 2023, the average City of Traverse City - (MI) customer experienced 26.5 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index).

Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 26.5 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 26.5 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.
With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), City of Traverse City - (MI)'s reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. Over that window, SAIDI moved from 54.9 down to 26.5 minutes, a trend worth noting for anyone weighing capital investment outcomes.
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.
