What short-outage Dixie Escalante R E A, Inc filings show
Dixie Escalante R E A, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Arizona under EIA identifier 40165. It reports service to approximately 28,009 customer accounts and generated about $0.05 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 16 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 Dixie Escalante R E A, Inc customer experienced 56.6 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That keeps this utility below the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, consistent with a well-hardened distribution system and fast restoration crews. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 0.69 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 56.6 minutes, and the spread against the headline 56.6 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.
With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Dixie Escalante R E A, Inc's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI climbed from 31.8 to 56.6 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to 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.
