Consolidated Edison Co-NY Inc is an investor-owned utility operating in New York under EIA identifier 4226. It reports service to approximately 3,142,067 customer accounts and generated about $6.48 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 395 ZIP codes. Investor ownership puts this utility under the regulatory authority of the state public utility commission, which reviews its rate requests and reliability record.
In 2023, the average Consolidated Edison Co-NY Inc customer experienced 18.8 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). 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 0.12, putting the typical customer at roughly 0 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 14.8 minutes, and the spread against the headline 18.8 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.
With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Consolidated Edison Co-NY Inc's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. Over that window, SAIDI moved from 359.0 down to 18.8 minutes, a trend worth noting for anyone weighing capital investment outcomes. 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 Consolidated Edison Co-NY Inc's other reported years.
