Northeast Louisiana Power Coop Inc.

What This Utility Data Tells You

Northeast Louisiana Power Coop Inc. is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Louisiana under EIA identifier 13783. It reports service to approximately 17,753 customer accounts and generated about $0.03 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 42 ZIP codes. Cooperative ownership means the utility is run for the benefit of the ratepayer-members who elect its board, rather than for shareholder returns, which can shift how rate and investment decisions get made.

In 2023, the average Northeast Louisiana Power Coop Inc. customer experienced 3.3 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That keeps this utility below the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, consistent with a well-hardened distribution system and fast restoration crews. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 2.59 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 3 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 3.3 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 3.3 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

Northeast Louisiana Power Coop Inc. has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. SAIDI has improved from 138.0 to 3.3 minutes over that window, a meaningful direction for prospective customers and regulators watching 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 Northeast Louisiana Power Coop Inc.'s other reported years.
