Easton Utilities Comm

What This Utility Data Tells You

Easton Utilities Comm is a municipally-owned utility operating in Maryland under EIA identifier 5625. It reports service to approximately 11,002 customer accounts and generated about $0.03 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 2 ZIP codes. Being municipally owned, the utility answers to a local board or city council rather than a state commission, and carries a federal income tax exemption.

In 2023, the average Easton Utilities Comm customer experienced 59.7 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. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 0.36 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 0 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 18.3 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 59.7 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

Easton Utilities Comm has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. Over that span, SAIDI rose from 6.0 to 59.7 minutes, possibly reflecting tougher weather years or grid upgrades that have not caught up yet.
