What mid-pack Pee Dee Electric Coop, Inc filings show
Pee Dee Electric Coop, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in South Carolina under EIA identifier 14557. Customer count is not reported in the current EIA filing. As a cooperative, its governance is accountable to its ratepayer-members rather than shareholders, which often shapes rate-setting and reinvestment priorities.
In 2022, the average Pee Dee Electric Coop, Inc customer experienced 242.3 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that is comfortably under the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, a sign of solid grid resilience and quick outage response. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 1.40, putting the typical customer at roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 83.2 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 242.3 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.
The EIA dataset includes 3 years of continuous reporting (2020–2022) for Pee Dee Electric Coop, Inc, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI climbed from 137.5 to 242.3 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.
