Pee Dee Electric Coop, Inc

What This Utility Data Tells You

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 — a metric called SAIDI (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 1.40 for the same period, so customers statistically faced 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 has increased from 137.5 to 242.3 minutes, which may reflect either worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization. All figures on this page come directly from EIA Form 861, the federal annual electric power industry survey — you can cross-reference them with your own utility bill or use them when comparing providers before relocating.
