Holy Cross Electric Assn, Inc

What This Utility Data Tells You

Holy Cross Electric Assn, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Colorado under EIA identifier 8773. It reports service to approximately 60,779 customer accounts and generated about $0.14 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 22 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 Holy Cross Electric Assn, Inc customer experienced 60.5 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That keeps this utility below the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, consistent with a well-hardened distribution system and fast restoration crews. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 0.85 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 1 distinct interruption that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 60.5 minutes, and the spread against the headline 60.5 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.

Holy Cross Electric Assn, Inc has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. SAIDI has improved from 158.1 to 60.5 minutes over that window, a meaningful direction for prospective customers and regulators watching capital investment outcomes.
