What long-outage The Toledo Edison Co filings show
The Toledo Edison Co is an investor-owned utility operating in Ohio under EIA identifier 18997. It reports service to approximately 96,923 customer accounts and generated about $0.20 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 128 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 The Toledo Edison Co customer experienced 331.4 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that is comfortably under the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, a sign of solid grid resilience and quick outage response. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 1.01 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 79.9 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 331.4 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.
With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), The Toledo Edison Co's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. Over that span, SAIDI rose from 102.8 to 331.4 minutes, possibly reflecting tougher weather years or grid upgrades that have not caught up yet.
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.
