What This Utility Data Tells You

Tallapoosa River Elec Coop Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Alabama under EIA identifier 18203. It reports service to approximately 30,054 customer accounts and generated about $0.07 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 38 ZIP codes.

In 2023, the average Tallapoosa River Elec Coop Inc customer experienced 327.7 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (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. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 2.34, putting the typical customer at roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year.

Tallapoosa River Elec Coop Inc 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 897.2 to 327.7 minutes over that window, a meaningful direction for prospective customers and regulators watching capital investment outcomes.
