What short-outage Town of Middleborough - (MA) filings show
Town of Middleborough - (MA) is a municipally-owned utility operating in Massachusetts under EIA identifier 12473. It reports service to approximately 17,911 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 12 ZIP codes. Municipal ownership means a local board or city council typically oversees this utility, and it is exempt from federal income tax.
In 2023, the average Town of Middleborough - (MA) customer experienced 32.9 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or 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. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 0.50, putting the typical customer at roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 32.9 minutes; the difference from the headline 32.9 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.
Town of Middleborough - (MA) has 2 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2022–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. SAIDI climbed from 3.2 to 32.9 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
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.
