Singing River Elec Cooperative

What This Utility Data Tells You

Singing River Elec Cooperative is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Mississippi under EIA identifier 17252. It reports service to approximately 79,177 customer accounts and generated about $0.17 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 32 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 Singing River Elec Cooperative customer experienced 161.7 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (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. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 151.1 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 161.7 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

Singing River Elec Cooperative has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. Over that window, SAIDI moved from 4198.9 down to 161.7 minutes, a trend worth noting for anyone weighing capital investment outcomes. Note: this figure is unusually low compared to typical U.S. utility performance and may reflect an incomplete EIA filing for this year rather than a genuine reliability improvement -- treat with caution and cross-check against Singing River Elec Cooperative's other reported years.
