Talquin Electric Coop, Inc

What This Utility Data Tells You

Talquin Electric Coop, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Florida under EIA identifier 18449. It reports service to approximately 56,792 customer accounts and generated about $0.13 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 44 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 Talquin Electric Coop, Inc customer experienced 1219.0 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, 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 5.10 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 5 distinct interruptions that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 253.3 minutes; the difference from the headline 1219.0 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Talquin Electric Coop, Inc, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI climbed from 445.4 to 1219.0 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
