Central Florida Elec Coop, Inc

What This Utility Data Tells You

Central Florida Elec Coop, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Florida under EIA identifier 3245. It reports service to approximately 36,682 customer accounts and generated about $0.07 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 24 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 Central Florida Elec Coop, Inc customer experienced 1902.5 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that sits within the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, indicating performance typical of U.S. distribution utilities. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 3.90 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 4 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 244.9 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 1902.5 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Central Florida Elec Coop, Inc's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. Over that span, SAIDI rose from 317.7 to 1902.5 minutes, possibly reflecting tougher weather years or grid upgrades that have not caught up yet.
