What short-outage Platte-Clay Electric Coop, Inc filings show
Platte-Clay Electric Coop, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Missouri under EIA identifier 15138. It reports service to approximately 26,710 customer accounts and generated about $0.05 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 43 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 Platte-Clay Electric Coop, Inc customer experienced 87.8 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That places this utility well below the 120–180 minute national benchmark, signaling strong grid hardening and fast restoration practices. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 1.19, putting the typical customer at roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 64.2 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 87.8 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.
Platte-Clay Electric Coop, Inc has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. SAIDI has increased from 77.9 to 87.8 minutes, which may reflect either 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.
