What short-outage Mountain View Elec Assn, Inc filings show
Mountain View Elec Assn, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Colorado under EIA identifier 13058. It reports service to approximately 62,629 customer accounts and generated about $0.13 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 65 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 Mountain View Elec Assn, Inc customer experienced 63.1 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That places this utility well below the 120–180 minute national benchmark, signaling strong grid hardening and fast restoration practices. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 0.52, putting the typical customer at roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 44.6 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 63.1 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.
With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Mountain View Elec Assn, Inc's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. Over that window, SAIDI moved from 265.8 down to 63.1 minutes, a trend worth noting for anyone weighing capital investment outcomes.
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.
