What mid-pack Pike County Light & Power Co filings show

Pike County Light & Power Co is an investor-owned utility operating in Pennsylvania under EIA identifier 15045. It reports service to approximately 4,336 customer accounts and generated about $0.01 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 4 ZIP codes. Because it is investor-owned, the state public utility commission oversees its rate cases and reliability performance rather than a local board.

In 2023, the average Pike County Light & Power Co customer experienced 144.0 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that places this utility well below the 120–180 minute national benchmark, signaling strong grid hardening and fast restoration practices. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 1.52 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 54.0 minutes, and the spread against the headline 144.0 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.

Pike County Light & Power Co has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. SAIDI has improved from 778.2 to 144.0 minutes over that window, a meaningful direction for prospective customers and regulators watching capital investment outcomes. Note: this figure is unusually low compared to typical U.S. utility performance and may reflect an incomplete EIA filing for this year rather than a genuine reliability improvement -- treat with caution and cross-check against Pike County Light & Power Co's other reported years.
