What long-outage Canadian Valley Elec Coop, Inc filings show

Canadian Valley Elec Coop, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Oklahoma under EIA identifier 2911. It reports service to approximately 27,102 customer accounts and generated about $0.08 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 48 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 Canadian Valley Elec Coop, Inc customer experienced 837.6 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. Excluding major weather events from that total, that falls inside the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, in line with what most U.S. distribution utilities report. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 2.25, putting the typical customer at roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 240.2 minutes; the difference from the headline 837.6 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

Canadian Valley Elec 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 dropped from 1571.6 to 837.6 minutes across that span, a direction regulators and prospective customers tend to watch closely.
