What mid-pack Peace River Electric Coop, Inc filings show
Peace River Electric Coop, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Florida under EIA identifier 14606. It reports service to approximately 61,418 customer accounts and generated about $0.14 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 32 ZIP codes. Being member-owned, this cooperative answers to its ratepayers rather than outside shareholders, a structure that tends to influence how rate cases and capital spending get decided.
In 2023, the average Peace River Electric Coop, Inc customer experienced 146.4 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That sits within the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, indicating performance typical of U.S. distribution utilities. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 1.57 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 132.5 minutes; the difference from the headline 146.4 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.
The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Peace River Electric Coop, Inc, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI has improved from 164.4 to 146.4 minutes over that window, a meaningful direction for prospective customers and regulators watching capital investment outcomes.
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.
