Bartlett Electric Coop, Inc

What This Utility Data Tells You

Bartlett Electric Coop, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Texas under EIA identifier 1273. It reports service to approximately 14,458 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 97 ZIP codes. Being member-owned, this cooperative answers to its ratepayers rather than outside shareholders, a structure that tends to influence how rate cases and capital spending get decided.

In 2023, the average Bartlett Electric Coop, Inc customer experienced 2120.4 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that lands within the usual 120–180 minute national benchmark band, roughly on par with typical U.S. distribution-utility performance. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 5.01, putting the typical customer at roughly 5 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 234.4 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 2120.4 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Bartlett Electric Coop, Inc's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI climbed from 128.0 to 2120.4 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
