What This Utility Data Tells You

Tri-County Electric Coop, Inc (FL) is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Florida under EIA identifier 19161. It reports service to approximately 20,118 customer accounts and generated about $0.05 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 23 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 Tri-County Electric Coop, Inc (FL) customer experienced 10820.0 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. Excluding major weather events from that total, that runs well past the 120–180 minute national benchmark, which can reflect storm-exposed terrain, an aging grid, or slower restoration times. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 6.00 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 6 distinct interruptions that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 348.5 minutes; the difference from the headline 10820.0 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 Tri-County Electric Coop, Inc (FL), which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI has increased from 239.2 to 10820.0 minutes, which may reflect either worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
