Greenville Utilities Comm

What This Utility Data Tells You

Greenville Utilities Comm is a municipally-owned utility operating in North Carolina under EIA identifier 7639. It reports service to approximately 72,994 customer accounts and generated about $0.17 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 3 ZIP codes. Municipal ownership means a local board or city council typically oversees this utility, and it is exempt from federal income tax.

In 2023, the average Greenville Utilities Comm customer experienced 35.4 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. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 0.47, putting the typical customer at roughly 0 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 35.4 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 35.4 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Greenville Utilities Comm's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI has improved from 73.5 to 35.4 minutes over that window, a meaningful direction for prospective customers and regulators watching capital investment outcomes.
