Mohave Electric Cooperative, Inc.

What This Utility Data Tells You

Mohave Electric Cooperative, Inc. is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Arizona under EIA identifier 21538. It reports service to approximately 44,428 customer accounts and generated about $0.10 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 Mohave Electric Cooperative, Inc. customer experienced 141.3 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. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 109.7 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 141.3 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Mohave Electric Cooperative, Inc., which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI has increased from 119.4 to 141.3 minutes, which may reflect either worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
