Northern Neck Elec Coop, Inc

What This Utility Data Tells You

Northern Neck Elec Coop, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Virginia under EIA identifier 13762. It reports service to approximately 20,290 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 26 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 Northern Neck Elec Coop, Inc customer experienced 128.8 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. That lands within the usual 120–180 minute national benchmark band, roughly on par with typical U.S. distribution-utility performance. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 1.14 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 128.8 minutes; the difference from the headline 128.8 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

The EIA dataset includes 3 years of continuous reporting (2021–2023) for Northern Neck Elec Coop, Inc, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI dropped from 352.8 to 128.8 minutes across that span, a direction regulators and prospective customers tend to watch closely.
