What mid-pack PECO Energy Co filings show
PECO Energy Co is an investor-owned utility operating in Pennsylvania under EIA identifier 14940. It reports service to approximately 1,305,182 customer accounts and generated about $2.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 342 ZIP codes. As an investor-owned utility, it operates under state public utility commission oversight that reviews rate cases and reliability performance.
In 2023, the average PECO Energy Co customer experienced 126.0 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. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 0.88 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 79.0 minutes, and the spread against the headline 126.0 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.
With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), PECO Energy Co's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI dropped from 629.0 to 126.0 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 PECO Energy 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, PECO Energy Co charges more per customer than 2% of them, and is more reliable (lower SAIDI) than 62% of them, placing it in the quadrant where it pays less while still being more reliable, the best-value quadrant. Revenue per customer and outage minutes are independent figures: paying more does not guarantee fewer outages.
Revenue per customer: $1,565/year · Latest SAIDI: 126.0 minutes/year.
