What This Utility Data Tells You

Prince George Electric Coop is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Virginia under EIA identifier 15410. It reports service to approximately 12,360 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 21 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 Prince George Electric Coop customer experienced 258.7 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that falls inside the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, in line with what most U.S. distribution utilities report. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 113.5 minutes; the difference from the headline 258.7 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Prince George Electric Coop's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI dropped from 474.2 to 258.7 minutes across that span, a direction regulators and prospective customers tend to watch closely.
