What mid-pack Victoria Electric Coop, Inc filings show
Victoria Electric Coop, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Texas under EIA identifier 19806. It reports service to approximately 24,685 customer accounts and generated about $0.07 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 35 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 Victoria Electric Coop, Inc customer experienced 219.2 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That sits within the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, indicating performance typical of U.S. distribution utilities. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 2.36, putting the typical customer at roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 197.3 minutes; the difference from the headline 219.2 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.
With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Victoria Electric Coop, Inc's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI has increased from 175.3 to 219.2 minutes, which may reflect either worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
Based on this utility's own EIA Form 861 reliability record -- baseline (major-event- excluded) outage duration, total outage duration, and outage frequency -- each benchmarked against every reporting utility nationwide. Not a measure of electricity rates or customer service, which this portal does not track.
