Rochester Gas & Electric Corp

What This Utility Data Tells You

Rochester Gas & Electric Corp is an investor-owned utility operating in New York under EIA identifier 16183. It reports service to approximately 311,622 customer accounts and generated about $0.47 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 150 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 Rochester Gas & Electric Corp customer experienced 102.2 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (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. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 0.84, putting the typical customer at roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 72.7 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 102.2 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Rochester Gas & Electric Corp, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI dropped from 124.8 to 102.2 minutes across that span, a direction regulators and prospective customers tend to watch closely.
