Bowie-Cass Electric Coop, Inc

What This Utility Data Tells You

Bowie-Cass Electric Coop, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Texas under EIA identifier 2049. It reports service to approximately 39,458 customer accounts and generated about $0.08 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 32 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 Bowie-Cass Electric Coop, Inc customer experienced 2130.6 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that runs well past the 120–180 minute national benchmark, which can reflect storm-exposed terrain, an aging grid, or slower restoration times. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 503.3 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 2130.6 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Bowie-Cass Electric Coop, Inc's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. Over that span, SAIDI rose from 923.4 to 2130.6 minutes, possibly reflecting tougher weather years or grid upgrades that have not caught up yet.
