What mid-pack Central Missouri Elec Coop Inc filings show
Central Missouri Elec Coop Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Missouri under EIA identifier 3268. It reports service to approximately 11,403 customer accounts and generated about $0.03 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 22 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 Missouri Elec Coop Inc customer experienced 123.5 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. That falls inside the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, in line with what most U.S. distribution utilities report. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 1.14 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 123.5 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 123.5 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.
Central Missouri 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 has increased from 93.2 to 123.5 minutes, which may reflect either worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
Based on this utility's own EIA Form 861 reliability record -- baseline (major-event- excluded) outage duration, total outage duration, and outage frequency -- each benchmarked against every reporting utility nationwide. Not a measure of electricity rates or customer service, which this portal does not track.
