It reports service to approximately 17,526 customer accounts and generated about $0.03 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 19 ZIP codes.

In 2023, the average Fall River Rural Elec Coop Inc customer experienced 10.0 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That is comfortably under the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, a sign of solid grid resilience and quick outage response. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 0.09 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 0 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 8.2 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 10.0 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

Fall River Rural Elec Coop Inc has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. Over that window, SAIDI moved from 130.7 down to 10.0 minutes, a trend worth noting for anyone weighing capital investment outcomes. Note: this figure is unusually low compared to typical U.S. utility performance and may reflect an incomplete EIA filing for this year rather than a genuine reliability improvement -- treat with caution and cross-check against Fall River Rural Elec Coop Inc's other reported years.
