MPD Electric Cooperative

What This Utility Data Tells You

MPD Electric Cooperative is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in South Carolina under EIA identifier 66073. It reports service to approximately 38,286 customer accounts and generated about $0.14 billion in annual electric revenue. As a cooperative, its governance is accountable to its ratepayer-members rather than shareholders, which often shapes rate-setting and reinvestment priorities.

In 2023, the average MPD Electric Cooperative customer experienced 258.3 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. SAIFI — the average number of outage events per customer — was 2.02 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 127.2 minutes — the gap between that figure and the headline 258.3 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

Only a single year of reliability data is available, so multi-year trend analysis is not yet possible for MPD Electric Cooperative. All figures on this page come directly from EIA Form 861, the federal annual electric power industry survey — you can cross-reference them with your own utility bill or use them when comparing providers before relocating.
