Prairie Land Electric Coop Inc

What This Utility Data Tells You

Prairie Land Electric Coop Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Kansas under EIA identifier 13799. It reports service to approximately 24,637 customer accounts and generated about $0.06 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 84 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 Prairie Land Electric Coop Inc customer experienced 220.0 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (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. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 138.9 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 220.0 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Prairie Land Electric Coop Inc's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. Over that span, SAIDI rose from 139.6 to 220.0 minutes, possibly reflecting tougher weather years or grid upgrades that have not caught up yet.
