What long-outage Bartlett Electric Coop, Inc filings show
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.
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.

Where Bartlett Electric Coop, Inc sits on price vs. reliability
Among the 781 U.S. utilities large enough to report both revenue per customer and a recent outage record, Bartlett Electric Coop, Inc charges more per customer than 64% of them, and is more reliable (lower SAIDI) than 2% of them, placing it in the quadrant where it pays more but is LESS reliable, a premium price without a reliability payoff. Revenue per customer and outage minutes are independent figures: paying more does not guarantee fewer outages.
Revenue per customer: $2,778/year · Latest SAIDI: 2120.4 minutes/year.
