Grand Valley Power

What This Utility Data Tells You

Grand Valley Power is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Colorado under EIA identifier 7563. It reports service to approximately 19,290 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 21 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 Grand Valley Power customer experienced 68.0 minutes of power interruptions — a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That places this utility well below the 120–180 minute national benchmark, signaling strong grid hardening and fast restoration practices. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 68.0 minutes — the gap between that figure and the headline 68.0 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Grand Valley Power, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI has increased from 44.8 to 68.0 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.
