Morgan County Rural Elec Assn

What This Utility Data Tells You

Morgan County Rural Elec Assn is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Colorado under EIA identifier 12860. It reports service to approximately 9,437 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 28 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 Morgan County Rural Elec Assn customer experienced 144.2 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (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 122.1 minutes; the difference from the headline 144.2 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

Morgan County Rural Elec 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 401.0 down to 144.2 minutes, a trend worth noting for anyone weighing capital investment outcomes.
