United Electric Co-op, Inc - (ID)

What This Utility Data Tells You

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. As a cooperative, its governance is accountable to its ratepayer-members rather than shareholders, which often shapes rate-setting and reinvestment priorities.

In 2023, the average United Electric Co-op, Inc - (ID) customer experienced 330.4 minutes of power interruptions — a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That is substantially above the 120–180 minute national benchmark, indicating either storm-prone geography, aging infrastructure, or extended restoration windows. SAIFI — the average number of outage events per customer — was 2.76 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 3 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 49.4 minutes — the gap between that figure and the headline 330.4 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

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). All figures on this page come directly from EIA Form 861, the federal annual electric power industry survey, with service territory ZIPs sourced from OpenEI — you can cross-reference them with your own utility bill or use them when comparing providers before relocating.
