Presque Isle Elec & Gas Coop

What This Utility Data Tells You

Presque Isle Elec & Gas Coop is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Michigan under EIA identifier 15340. It reports service to approximately 34,926 customer accounts and generated about $0.05 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 45 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 Presque Isle Elec & Gas Coop customer experienced 279.4 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That sits within the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, indicating performance typical of U.S. distribution utilities. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 1.25 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 1 distinct interruption that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 268.2 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 279.4 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

Presque Isle Elec & Gas Coop 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 improved from 872.3 to 279.4 minutes over that window, a meaningful direction for prospective customers and regulators watching capital investment outcomes.
