Wellsborough Electric Co

What This Utility Data Tells You

Wellsborough Electric Co is an investor-owned utility operating in Pennsylvania under EIA identifier 20334. It reports service to approximately 6,392 customer accounts and generated about $0.01 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 7 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 Wellsborough Electric Co customer experienced 539.0 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that sits within the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, indicating performance typical of U.S. distribution utilities. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 3.73, putting the typical customer at roughly 4 distinct interruptions that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 155.0 minutes; the difference from the headline 539.0 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

Wellsborough 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. Over that span, SAIDI rose from 255.0 to 539.0 minutes, possibly reflecting tougher weather years or grid upgrades that have not caught up yet.
