Riverland Energy Cooperative

What This Utility Data Tells You

Riverland Energy Cooperative is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Wisconsin under EIA identifier 16060. It reports service to approximately 19,413 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 24 ZIP codes. As a cooperative, its governance is accountable to its ratepayer-members rather than shareholders, which often shapes rate-setting and reinvestment priorities.

In 2023, the average Riverland Energy Cooperative customer experienced 182.1 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, 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 1.00, putting the typical customer at roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 82.1 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 182.1 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Riverland Energy Cooperative, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. Over that span, SAIDI rose from 87.6 to 182.1 minutes, possibly reflecting tougher weather years or grid upgrades that have not caught up yet.
