What This Utility Data Tells You

Orlando Utilities Comm is a municipally-owned utility operating in Florida under EIA identifier 14610. It reports service to approximately 275,338 customer accounts and generated about $0.77 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 39 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 Orlando Utilities Comm customer experienced 58.6 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That keeps this utility below the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, consistent with a well-hardened distribution system and fast restoration crews. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 0.66 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 1 distinct interruption that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 54.7 minutes, and the spread against the headline 58.6 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.

With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Orlando Utilities Comm's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI dropped from 60.1 to 58.6 minutes across that span, a direction regulators and prospective customers tend to watch closely.
