A & N Electric Coop

What This Utility Data Tells You

A & N Electric Coop is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Virginia under EIA identifier 84. It reports service to approximately 36,997 customer accounts and generated about $0.08 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 61 ZIP codes. Cooperative ownership means the utility is run for the benefit of the ratepayer-members who elect its board, rather than for shareholder returns, which can shift how rate and investment decisions get made.

In 2023, the average A & N Electric Coop customer experienced 5.5 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (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. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 0.04 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 0 distinct interruptions that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 2.9 minutes; the difference from the headline 5.5 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), A & N Electric Coop's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI has improved from 329.5 to 5.5 minutes over that window, a meaningful direction for prospective customers and regulators watching capital investment outcomes. 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 A & N Electric Coop's other reported years.
