Glades Electric Coop, Inc

What This Utility Data Tells You

Glades Electric Coop, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Florida under EIA identifier 7264. It reports service to approximately 18,119 customer accounts and generated about $0.05 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 18 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 Glades Electric Coop, Inc customer experienced 375.5 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That exceeds the 120–180 minute national benchmark by a wide margin, a pattern often tied to severe weather exposure, older infrastructure, or longer repair windows. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 0.82 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 375.5 minutes, and the spread against the headline 375.5 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.

With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Glades Electric Coop, Inc's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. Over that span, SAIDI rose from 292.7 to 375.5 minutes, possibly reflecting tougher weather years or grid upgrades that have not caught up yet.
