What short-outage Jefferson Davis Elec Coop, Inc filings show
Jefferson Davis Elec Coop, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Louisiana under EIA identifier 9682. It reports service to approximately 10,448 customer accounts and generated about $0.03 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 39 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 Jefferson Davis Elec Coop, Inc customer experienced 41.4 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. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 6.62, putting the typical customer at roughly 7 distinct interruptions that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 9.6 minutes; the difference from the headline 41.4 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.
With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Jefferson Davis Elec Coop, Inc's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI dropped from 67.0 to 41.4 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.
