Coosa Valley Electric Coop Inc

What This Utility Data Tells You

Coosa Valley Electric Coop Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Alabama under EIA identifier 4327. It reports service to approximately 18,109 customer accounts and generated about $0.05 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 28 ZIP codes. As a cooperative, its governance is accountable to its ratepayer-members rather than shareholders, which often shapes rate-setting and reinvestment priorities.

In 2023, the average Coosa Valley Electric Coop Inc customer experienced 178.7 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or 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 1.50 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 178.7 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 178.7 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

Coosa Valley 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 dropped from 1492.6 to 178.7 minutes across that span, a direction regulators and prospective customers tend to watch closely. Note: this figure is unusually low compared to typical U.S. utility performance and may reflect an incomplete EIA filing for this year rather than a genuine reliability improvement -- treat with caution and cross-check against Coosa Valley Electric Coop Inc's other reported years.
