What mid-pack Victory Electric Coop Assn Inc filings show
Victory Electric Coop Assn Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Kansas under EIA identifier 19820. It reports service to approximately 20,235 customer accounts and generated about $0.07 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 Victory Electric Coop Assn Inc customer experienced 238.5 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. That sits within the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, indicating performance typical of U.S. distribution utilities. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 150.6 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 238.5 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.
With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Victory Electric Coop Assn Inc's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI has improved from 342.1 to 238.5 minutes over that window, a meaningful direction for prospective customers and regulators watching capital investment outcomes.
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.

Price vs. reliability
Where Victory Electric Coop Assn Inc sits on price vs. reliability
Among the 781 U.S. utilities large enough to report both revenue per customer and a recent outage record, Victory Electric Coop Assn Inc charges more per customer than 85% of them, and is more reliable (lower SAIDI) than 40% of them, placing it in the quadrant where it pays more but is LESS reliable, a premium price without a reliability payoff. Revenue per customer and outage minutes are independent figures: paying more does not guarantee fewer outages.
Revenue per customer: $3,356/year · Latest SAIDI: 238.5 minutes/year.
