What long-outage Salmon River Electric Coop Inc filings show

Salmon River Electric Coop Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Idaho under EIA identifier 16565. It reports service to approximately 2,932 customer accounts and generated about $0.01 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 11 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 Salmon River Electric Coop Inc customer experienced 533.1 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. That exceeds the 120–180 minute national benchmark by a wide margin, a pattern often tied to severe weather exposure, older infrastructure, or longer repair windows. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 2.55 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 3 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 533.1 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 533.1 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

Only a single year of reliability data is available, so multi-year trend analysis is not yet possible for Salmon River Electric Coop Inc.
