United Electric Co-op, Inc - (ID) is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Idaho under EIA identifier 19502. It reports service to approximately 7,431 customer accounts and generated about $0.02 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 3 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 United Electric Co-op, Inc - (ID) customer experienced 330.4 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that places this utility well below the 120–180 minute national benchmark, signaling strong grid hardening and fast restoration practices. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 2.76, putting the typical customer at roughly 3 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 49.4 minutes, and the spread against the headline 330.4 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.
Only a single year of reliability data is available, so multi-year trend analysis is not yet possible for United Electric Co-op, Inc - (ID).
