Central Valley Elec Coop, Inc

What This Utility Data Tells You

Central Valley Elec Coop, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in New Mexico under EIA identifier 3287. It reports service to approximately 14,945 customer accounts and generated about $0.07 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 16 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 Central Valley Elec Coop, Inc customer experienced 324.7 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That lands within the usual 120–180 minute national benchmark band, roughly on par with typical U.S. distribution-utility performance. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 2.53 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 3 distinct interruptions that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 260.9 minutes; the difference from the headline 324.7 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

Central 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 has increased from 244.8 to 324.7 minutes, which may reflect either worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
