What This Utility Data Tells You
Pennsylvania Power Co is an investor-owned utility operating in Pennsylvania under EIA identifier 14716. It reports service to approximately 136,501 customer accounts and generated about $0.27 billion in annual electric revenue. As an investor-owned utility, it operates under state public utility commission oversight that reviews rate cases and reliability performance.
In 2023, the average Pennsylvania Power Co customer experienced 706.0 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. Excluding major weather events from that total, that sits within the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, indicating performance typical of U.S. distribution utilities. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 1.51, putting the typical customer at roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 118.5 minutes, and the spread against the headline 706.0 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.
The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Pennsylvania Power Co, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI climbed from 180.0 to 706.0 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
