What long-outage CKenergy Electric Cooperative filings show

CKenergy Electric Cooperative is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Oklahoma under EIA identifier 60482. It reports service to approximately 27,122 customer accounts and generated about $0.08 billion in annual electric revenue. Being member-owned, this cooperative answers to its ratepayers rather than outside shareholders, a structure that tends to influence how rate cases and capital spending get decided.

In 2023, the average CKenergy Electric Cooperative customer experienced 685.2 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (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. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 4.89 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 5 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 374.0 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 685.2 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

CKenergy Electric Cooperative has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. SAIDI dropped from 7373.0 to 685.2 minutes across that span, a direction regulators and prospective customers tend to watch closely. Note: this figure is unusually low compared to typical U.S. utility performance and may reflect an incomplete EIA filing for this year rather than a genuine reliability improvement -- treat with caution and cross-check against CKenergy Electric Cooperative's other reported years.
