Diverse Power Incorporated

What This Utility Data Tells You

Diverse Power Incorporated is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Alabama under EIA identifier 19219. It reports service to approximately 36,503 customer accounts and generated about $0.11 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 28 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 Diverse Power Incorporated customer experienced 2410.4 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or 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. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 7.00, putting the typical customer at roughly 7 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 353.4 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 2410.4 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Diverse Power Incorporated's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI climbed from 329.0 to 2410.4 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
