PPL Electric Utilities Corp

What This Utility Data Tells You

PPL Electric Utilities Corp is an investor-owned utility operating in Pennsylvania under EIA identifier 14715. It reports service to approximately 908,658 customer accounts and generated about $1.90 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 500 ZIP codes. Investor ownership puts this utility under the regulatory authority of the state public utility commission, which reviews its rate requests and reliability record.

In 2023, the average PPL Electric Utilities Corp customer experienced 149.7 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. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 0.80 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 91.5 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 149.7 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), PPL Electric Utilities Corp's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI climbed from 118.6 to 149.7 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
