United Power, Inc

What This Utility Data Tells You

United Power, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Colorado under EIA identifier 19499. It reports service to approximately 110,502 customer accounts and generated about $0.33 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 47 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 Power, Inc customer experienced 65.2 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That is comfortably under the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, a sign of solid grid resilience and quick outage response. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 0.65 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 65.2 minutes; the difference from the headline 65.2 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

United Power, Inc has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. Over that window, SAIDI moved from 158.9 down to 65.2 minutes, a trend worth noting for anyone weighing capital investment outcomes.
