What long-outage Cuivre River Electric Coop Inc filings show
Cuivre River Electric Coop Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Missouri under EIA identifier 4675. It reports service to approximately 73,023 customer accounts and generated about $0.14 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 52 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 Cuivre River Electric Coop Inc customer experienced 261.1 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That sits within the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, indicating performance typical of U.S. distribution utilities. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 1.61 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 2 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 139.6 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 261.1 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.
The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Cuivre River Electric Coop Inc, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI has increased from 109.9 to 261.1 minutes, which may reflect either worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
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.
