What mid-pack Oregon Trail El Cons Coop, Inc filings show
Oregon Trail El Cons Coop, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Oregon under EIA identifier 14109. It reports service to approximately 31,731 customer accounts and generated about $0.06 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 37 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 Oregon Trail El Cons Coop, Inc customer experienced 165.0 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (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 1.86 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 104.1 minutes, and the spread against the headline 165.0 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.
Oregon Trail El Cons 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 climbed from 144.2 to 165.0 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
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.
