What long-outage Florida Public Utilities Co filings show
Florida Public Utilities Co is an investor-owned utility operating in Florida under EIA identifier 6457. It reports service to approximately 30,199 customer accounts and generated about $0.11 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 24 ZIP codes. Because it is investor-owned, the state public utility commission oversees its rate cases and reliability performance rather than a local board.
In 2023, the average Florida Public Utilities Co customer experienced 314.1 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. That falls inside the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, in line with what most U.S. distribution utilities report. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 2.70, putting the typical customer at roughly 3 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 160.6 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 314.1 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.
The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Florida Public Utilities Co, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI dropped from 575.0 to 314.1 minutes across that span, a direction regulators and prospective customers tend to watch closely.
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.

Price vs. reliability
Where Florida Public Utilities Co sits on price vs. reliability
Among the 781 U.S. utilities large enough to report both revenue per customer and a recent outage record, Florida Public Utilities Co charges more per customer than 91% of them, and is more reliable (lower SAIDI) than 32% of them, placing it in the quadrant where it pays more but is LESS reliable, a premium price without a reliability payoff. Revenue per customer and outage minutes are independent figures: paying more does not guarantee fewer outages.
Revenue per customer: $3,731/year · Latest SAIDI: 314.1 minutes/year.
