It reports service to approximately 120,554 customer accounts and generated about $0.30 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 18 ZIP codes.

In 2023, the average City Utilities of Springfield - (MO) customer experienced 186.8 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index).
