What short-outage Fayetteville Public Works Commission filings show

Fayetteville Public Works Commission is a municipally-owned utility operating in North Carolina under EIA identifier 6235. It reports service to approximately 85,387 customer accounts and generated about $0.20 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 9 ZIP codes. As a municipal utility, it is typically governed by a local board or city council and is exempt from federal income tax.

In 2023, the average Fayetteville Public Works Commission customer experienced 86.7 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. That is comfortably under the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, a sign of solid grid resilience and quick outage response. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 1.03 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 1 distinct interruption that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 64.9 minutes; the difference from the headline 86.7 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Fayetteville Public Works Commission, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. Over that window, SAIDI moved from 91.4 down to 86.7 minutes, a trend worth noting for anyone weighing capital investment outcomes.
