What mid-pack City Utilities of Springfield - (MO) filings show
City Utilities of Springfield - (MO) is a municipally-owned utility operating in Missouri under EIA identifier 17833. 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). Excluding major weather events from that total, that keeps this utility below the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, consistent with a well-hardened distribution system and fast restoration crews. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 1.12, putting the typical customer at roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 61.3 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 186.8 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.
City Utilities of Springfield - (MO) has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. SAIDI climbed from 128.4 to 186.8 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
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.
