Coos-Curry Electric Coop, Inc

What This Utility Data Tells You

Coos-Curry Electric Coop, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Oregon under EIA identifier 4317. It reports service to approximately 18,519 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 22 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 Coos-Curry Electric Coop, Inc customer experienced 232.4 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). 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 1.69 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 2 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 120.6 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 232.4 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

Coos-Curry Electric 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. SAIDI has increased from 136.7 to 232.4 minutes, which may reflect either worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
