Pioneer Electric Coop, Inc - (KS)

What This Utility Data Tells You

Pioneer Electric Coop, Inc - (KS) is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Kansas under EIA identifier 15073. It reports service to approximately 16,578 customer accounts and generated about $0.07 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 21 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 Pioneer Electric Coop, Inc - (KS) customer experienced 156.5 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (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. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 130.4 minutes; the difference from the headline 156.5 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

Pioneer Electric Coop, Inc - (KS) 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 125.2 to 156.5 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
