What mid-pack Macon Electric Coop filings show
Macon Electric Coop is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Missouri under EIA identifier 11463. It reports service to approximately 11,628 customer accounts and generated about $0.03 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 36 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 Macon Electric Coop customer experienced 101.5 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. That falls inside the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, in line with what most U.S. distribution utilities report. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 101.5 minutes; the difference from the headline 101.5 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.
The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Macon Electric Coop, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI has increased from 42.3 to 101.5 minutes, which may reflect either worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
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.
