New Hampshire Elec Coop Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in New Hampshire under EIA identifier 13441. It reports service to approximately 82,289 customer accounts and generated about $0.17 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 141 ZIP codes. 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 New Hampshire Elec Coop Inc customer experienced 1084.9 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that runs well past the 120–180 minute national benchmark, which can reflect storm-exposed terrain, an aging grid, or slower restoration times. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 3.88, putting the typical customer at roughly 4 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 405.6 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 1084.9 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.
With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), New Hampshire Elec Coop Inc's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI dropped from 1226.1 to 1084.9 minutes across that span, a direction regulators and prospective customers tend to watch closely.
