What mid-pack Rockland Electric Co filings show
Rockland Electric Co is an investor-owned utility operating in New Jersey under EIA identifier 16213. It reports service to approximately 71,169 customer accounts and generated about $0.18 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 47 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 Rockland Electric Co customer experienced 119.0 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That lands within the usual 120–180 minute national benchmark band, roughly on par with typical U.S. distribution-utility performance. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 0.92 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 118.2 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 119.0 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.
Rockland Electric 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 dropped from 2206.2 to 119.0 minutes across that span, a direction regulators and prospective customers tend to watch closely. 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 Rockland Electric Co's other reported years.
Based on this utility's own EIA Form 861 reliability record -- baseline (major-event- excluded) outage duration, total outage duration, and outage frequency -- each benchmarked against every reporting utility nationwide. Not a measure of electricity rates or customer service, which this portal does not track.

Price vs. reliability
Where Rockland Electric Co sits on price vs. reliability
Among the 781 U.S. utilities large enough to report both revenue per customer and a recent outage record, Rockland Electric Co charges more per customer than 46% of them, and is more reliable (lower SAIDI) than 64% of them, placing it in the quadrant where it pays less while still being more reliable, the best-value quadrant. Revenue per customer and outage minutes are independent figures: paying more does not guarantee fewer outages.
