What This Utility Data Tells You

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. 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 Victory Electric Coop Assn Inc customer experienced 238.5 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. 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.

The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Victory Electric Coop Assn Inc, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. 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. 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.
