What long-outage Consumers Power, Inc filings show
Consumers Power, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Oregon under EIA identifier 4743. It reports service to approximately 22,985 customer accounts and generated about $0.05 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 45 ZIP codes. 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 Consumers Power, Inc customer experienced 572.2 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That sits within the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, indicating performance typical of U.S. distribution utilities. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 1.95 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 296.3 minutes, and the spread against the headline 572.2 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.
Consumers Power, 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 has improved from 1511.0 to 572.2 minutes over that window, a meaningful direction for prospective customers and regulators watching 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.
