Dixie Electric Coop - (AL)

What This Utility Data Tells You

Dixie Electric Coop - (AL) is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Alabama under EIA identifier 5204. It reports service to approximately 26,353 customer accounts and generated about $0.08 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 33 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 Dixie Electric Coop - (AL) customer experienced 291.4 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). 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 1.70 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 2 distinct interruptions that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 180.2 minutes; the difference from the headline 291.4 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Dixie Electric Coop - (AL)'s reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. Over that window, SAIDI moved from 326.1 down to 291.4 minutes, a trend worth noting for anyone weighing capital investment outcomes.
