Maquoketa Valley Rrl Elec Coop

What This Utility Data Tells You

Maquoketa Valley Rrl Elec Coop is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Iowa under EIA identifier 12642. It reports service to approximately 16,948 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 60 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 Maquoketa Valley Rrl Elec Coop customer experienced 211.4 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that places this utility well below the 120–180 minute national benchmark, signaling strong grid hardening and fast restoration practices. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 1.36, putting the typical customer at roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 57.4 minutes, and the spread against the headline 211.4 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.

With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Maquoketa Valley Rrl Elec Coop's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI dropped from 271.7 to 211.4 minutes across that span, a direction regulators and prospective customers tend to watch closely.
