What This Utility Data Tells You

Broad River Electric Coop, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in South Carolina under EIA identifier 2212. It reports service to approximately 23,947 customer accounts and generated about $0.05 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 33 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 Broad River Electric Coop, Inc customer experienced 95.3 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That places this utility well below the 120–180 minute national benchmark, signaling strong grid hardening and fast restoration practices. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 95.3 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 95.3 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Broad River Electric Coop, Inc's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI dropped from 218.9 to 95.3 minutes across that span, a direction regulators and prospective customers tend to watch closely.
