What This Utility Data Tells You
Choctaw Electric Coop Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Oklahoma under EIA identifier 3527. It reports service to approximately 21,533 customer accounts and generated about $0.05 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 50 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 Choctaw Electric Coop Inc customer experienced 1593.7 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That is substantially above the 120–180 minute national benchmark, indicating either storm-prone geography, aging infrastructure, or extended restoration windows. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 4.70, putting the typical customer at roughly 5 distinct interruptions that year.
Choctaw Electric 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 climbed from 1066.6 to 1593.7 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
