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. 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 Grand Valley Power customer experienced 68.0 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or 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. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 68.0 minutes; the difference from the headline 68.0 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

Grand Valley Power has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. SAIDI climbed from 44.8 to 68.0 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
