What long-outage Egyptian Electric Coop Assn filings show

Egyptian Electric Coop Assn is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Illinois under EIA identifier 5535. It reports service to approximately 15,412 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 41 ZIP codes. Cooperative ownership means the utility is run for the benefit of the ratepayer-members who elect its board, rather than for shareholder returns, which can shift how rate and investment decisions get made.

In 2023, the average Egyptian Electric Coop Assn customer experienced 262.3 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.

Only a single year of reliability data is available, so multi-year trend analysis is not yet possible for Egyptian Electric Coop Assn.

Price vs. reliability

Where Egyptian Electric Coop Assn sits on price vs. reliability

Among the 781 U.S. utilities large enough to report both revenue per customer and a recent outage record, Egyptian Electric Coop Assn charges more per customer than 71% of them, and is more reliable (lower SAIDI) than 36% of them, placing it in the quadrant where it pays more but is LESS reliable, a premium price without a reliability payoff. Revenue per customer and outage minutes are independent figures: paying more does not guarantee fewer outages.
