Bluebonnet Electric Coop, Inc

What This Utility Data Tells You

Bluebonnet Electric Coop, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Texas under EIA identifier 1892. It reports service to approximately 126,525 customer accounts and generated about $0.30 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 59 ZIP codes. As a cooperative, its governance is accountable to its ratepayer-members rather than shareholders, which often shapes rate-setting and reinvestment priorities.

In 2023, the average Bluebonnet Electric Coop, Inc customer experienced 310.3 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or 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. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 1.66 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 101.5 minutes; the difference from the headline 310.3 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

Bluebonnet Electric Coop, Inc has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. SAIDI climbed from 151.2 to 310.3 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
