What This Utility Data Tells You
Georgia Power Co is an investor-owned utility operating in Georgia under EIA identifier 7140. It reports service to approximately 2,735,271 customer accounts and generated about $9.22 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 500 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 Georgia Power Co customer experienced 365.1 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. Excluding major weather events from that total, that sits within the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, indicating performance typical of U.S. distribution utilities. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 1.75 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 139.6 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 365.1 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.
The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Georgia Power Co, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. Over that window, SAIDI moved from 527.8 down to 365.1 minutes, a trend worth noting for anyone weighing capital investment outcomes.
