Crawford Electric Coop, Inc

What This Utility Data Tells You

Crawford Electric Coop, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Missouri under EIA identifier 4524. It reports service to approximately 21,397 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 64 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 Crawford Electric Coop, Inc customer experienced 1161.2 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that exceeds the 120–180 minute national benchmark by a wide margin, a pattern often tied to severe weather exposure, older infrastructure, or longer repair windows. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 3.38 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 3 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 303.9 minutes, and the spread against the headline 1161.2 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.

The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Crawford Electric Coop, Inc, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI climbed from 360.2 to 1161.2 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
