What long-outage Concho Valley Elec Coop Inc filings show
Concho Valley Elec Coop Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Texas under EIA identifier 4146. It reports service to approximately 15,996 customer accounts and generated about $0.05 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 26 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 Concho Valley Elec Coop Inc customer experienced 392.7 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That runs well past the 120–180 minute national benchmark, which can reflect storm-exposed terrain, an aging grid, or slower restoration times. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 4.32 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 4 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 392.7 minutes, and the spread against the headline 392.7 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.
Concho 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. Over that window, SAIDI moved from 473.7 down to 392.7 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.
