Moon Lake Electric Assn Inc

What This Utility Data Tells You

Moon Lake Electric Assn Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Colorado under EIA identifier 12866. It reports service to approximately 17,896 customer accounts and generated about $0.06 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 34 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 Moon Lake Electric Assn Inc customer experienced 121.9 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. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 2.20, putting the typical customer at roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 121.9 minutes, and the spread against the headline 121.9 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.

Moon Lake Electric Assn Inc 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 958.9 down to 121.9 minutes, a trend worth noting for anyone weighing capital investment outcomes. Note: this figure is unusually low compared to typical U.S. utility performance and may reflect an incomplete EIA filing for this year rather than a genuine reliability improvement -- treat with caution and cross-check against Moon Lake Electric Assn Inc's other reported years.
