What long-outage Clay Electric Cooperative, Inc - (FL) filings show
Clay Electric Cooperative, Inc - (FL) is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Florida under EIA identifier 3757. It reports service to approximately 190,601 customer accounts and generated about $0.40 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 74 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 Clay Electric Cooperative, Inc - (FL) customer experienced 693.7 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, 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 3.33 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 3 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 231.6 minutes, and the spread against the headline 693.7 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.
With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Clay Electric Cooperative, Inc - (FL)'s reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI has increased from 683.0 to 693.7 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.
