What This Utility Data Tells You

Garkane Energy Coop, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Utah under EIA identifier 6957. It reports service to approximately 15,139 customer accounts and generated about $0.03 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 48 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 Garkane Energy Coop, Inc customer experienced 961.9 minutes of power interruptions — a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That is substantially above the 120–180 minute national benchmark, indicating either storm-prone geography, aging infrastructure, or extended restoration windows. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 766.0 minutes — the gap between that figure and the headline 961.9 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Garkane Energy Coop, Inc, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI has increased from 453.4 to 961.9 minutes, which may reflect either worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization. All figures on this page come directly from EIA Form 861, the federal annual electric power industry survey, with service territory ZIPs sourced from OpenEI — you can cross-reference them with your own utility bill or use them when comparing providers before relocating.
