Meeker Coop Light & Power Assn

What This Utility Data Tells You

Meeker Coop Light & Power Assn is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Minnesota under EIA identifier 12227. It reports service to approximately 9,330 customer accounts and generated about $0.03 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 19 ZIP codes. Being member-owned, this cooperative answers to its ratepayers rather than outside shareholders, a structure that tends to influence how rate cases and capital spending get decided.

In 2023, the average Meeker Coop Light & Power Assn customer experienced 77.1 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or 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. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 1.12 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 77.1 minutes, and the spread against the headline 77.1 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.

Meeker Coop Light & Power Assn has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. Over that window, SAIDI moved from 181.7 down to 77.1 minutes, a trend worth noting for anyone weighing capital investment outcomes.
