What long-outage Cloverland Electric Co-op filings show
Cloverland Electric Co-op is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Michigan under EIA identifier 3828. It reports service to approximately 43,552 customer accounts and generated about $0.09 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 37 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 Cloverland Electric Co-op customer experienced 402.1 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or 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. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 2.57 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 3 distinct interruptions that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 213.8 minutes; the difference from the headline 402.1 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.
With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Cloverland Electric Co-op's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. Over that window, SAIDI moved from 437.3 down to 402.1 minutes, a trend worth noting for anyone weighing capital investment outcomes.
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.
