Covington Electric Coop, Inc

What This Utility Data Tells You

Covington Electric Coop, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Alabama under EIA identifier 4430. It reports service to approximately 24,434 customer accounts and generated about $0.06 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 27 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 Covington Electric Coop, Inc customer experienced 255.6 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, 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 2.00 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 2 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 104.3 minutes, and the spread against the headline 255.6 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.

With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Covington Electric Coop, Inc's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. Over that window, SAIDI moved from 751.7 down to 255.6 minutes, a trend worth noting for anyone weighing capital investment outcomes.
