What This Utility Data Tells You

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.
