What mid-pack Midstate Electric Coop, Inc filings show
Midstate Electric Coop, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Oregon under EIA identifier 12439. It reports service to approximately 21,186 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 16 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 Midstate Electric Coop, Inc customer experienced 208.1 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That sits within the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, indicating performance typical of U.S. distribution utilities. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 208.1 minutes; the difference from the headline 208.1 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.
Midstate 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 increased from 134.4 to 208.1 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.
