What This Utility Data Tells You

Central Texas Elec Coop, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Texas under EIA identifier 3282. It reports service to approximately 46,396 customer accounts and generated about $0.07 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 38 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 Texas Elec Coop, Inc customer experienced 396.0 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (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. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 2.09 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 2 distinct interruptions that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 211.7 minutes; the difference from the headline 396.0 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Central Texas Elec Coop, Inc, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI has increased from 132.4 to 396.0 minutes, which may reflect either worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
