New York State Elec & Gas Corp

What This Utility Data Tells You

New York State Elec & Gas Corp is an investor-owned utility operating in New York under EIA identifier 13511. It reports service to approximately 810,922 customer accounts and generated about $1.20 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 New York State Elec & Gas Corp customer experienced 341.2 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. Excluding major weather events from that total, 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 1.86, putting the typical customer at roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 151.3 minutes; the difference from the headline 341.2 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

New York State Elec & Gas Corp 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 window, SAIDI moved from 674.3 down to 341.2 minutes, a trend worth noting for anyone weighing capital investment outcomes.
