What short-outage Lamb County Electric Coop, Inc filings show
Lamb County Electric Coop, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Texas under EIA identifier 10625. It reports service to approximately 11,638 customer accounts and generated about $0.03 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 15 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 Lamb County Electric Coop, Inc customer experienced 26.1 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (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 26.1 minutes; the difference from the headline 26.1 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.
Lamb County Electric Coop, 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 131.2 to 26.1 minutes over that window, a meaningful direction for prospective customers and regulators watching capital investment outcomes. Note: this figure is unusually low compared to typical U.S. utility performance and may reflect an incomplete EIA filing for this year rather than a genuine reliability improvement -- treat with caution and cross-check against Lamb County Electric Coop, Inc's other reported years.
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.
