Osage Valley Elec Coop Assn

What This Utility Data Tells You

Osage Valley Elec Coop Assn is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Missouri under EIA identifier 14192. It reports service to approximately 17,564 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 46 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 Osage Valley Elec Coop Assn customer experienced 271.2 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. That falls inside the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, in line with what most U.S. distribution utilities report. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 1.45 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 137.7 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 271.2 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Osage Valley Elec Coop Assn's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI has improved from 516.4 to 271.2 minutes over that window, a meaningful direction for prospective customers and regulators watching capital investment outcomes.
