What long-outage Indian Electric Coop, Inc filings show
Indian Electric Coop, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Oklahoma under EIA identifier 9246. It reports service to approximately 20,334 customer accounts and generated about $0.06 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 35 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 Indian Electric Coop, Inc customer experienced 320.7 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, 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 0.42 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 0 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 50.3 minutes, and the spread against the headline 320.7 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.
With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Indian Electric Coop, Inc's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI dropped from 880.5 to 320.7 minutes across that span, a direction regulators and prospective customers tend to watch closely.
Based on this utility's own EIA Form 861 reliability record -- baseline (major-event- excluded) outage duration, total outage duration, and outage frequency -- each benchmarked against every reporting utility nationwide. Not a measure of electricity rates or customer service, which this portal does not track.
