What mid-pack Rural Electric Coop, Inc - (OK) filings show
Rural Electric Coop, Inc - (OK) is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Oklahoma under EIA identifier 16382. It reports service to approximately 12,572 customer accounts and generated about $0.05 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 24 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 Rural Electric Coop, Inc - (OK) customer experienced 217.9 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or 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. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 2.11 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 2 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 203.7 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 217.9 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.
Rural Electric Coop, Inc - (OK) 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 950.7 to 217.9 minutes over that window, a meaningful direction for prospective customers and regulators watching capital investment outcomes.
Based on this utility's own EIA Form 861 reliability record -- baseline (major-event- excluded) outage duration, total outage duration, and outage frequency -- each benchmarked against every reporting utility nationwide. Not a measure of electricity rates or customer service, which this portal does not track.
