Inland Power & Light Company

What This Utility Data Tells You

Inland Power & Light Company is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Washington under EIA identifier 8699. It reports service to approximately 44,400 customer accounts and generated about $0.09 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 98 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 Inland Power & Light Company customer experienced 219.0 minutes of power interruptions — a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That sits within the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, indicating performance typical of U.S. distribution utilities. SAIFI — the average number of outage events per customer — was 1.20 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 201.0 minutes — the gap between that figure and the headline 219.0 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Inland Power & Light Company, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI has improved from 797.0 to 219.0 minutes over that window — a meaningful direction for prospective customers and regulators watching capital investment outcomes. 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.
