What short-outage Pointe Coupee Elec Member Corp filings show

Pointe Coupee Elec Member Corp is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Louisiana under EIA identifier 15175. It reports service to approximately 10,685 customer accounts and generated about $0.03 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 56 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 Pointe Coupee Elec Member Corp customer experienced 3.6 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (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. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 0.01 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 0 distinct interruptions that year.

The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Pointe Coupee Elec Member Corp, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. Over that window, SAIDI moved from 463.2 down to 3.6 minutes, a trend worth noting for anyone weighing capital investment outcomes. Note: this figure is unusually low compared to typical U.S. utility performance and may reflect an incomplete EIA filing for this year rather than a genuine reliability improvement -- treat with caution and cross-check against Pointe Coupee Elec Member Corp's other reported years.
