What long-outage West Florida El Coop Assn, Inc filings show
West Florida El Coop Assn, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Florida under EIA identifier 20371. It reports service to approximately 29,530 customer accounts and generated about $0.07 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 29 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 West Florida El Coop Assn, Inc customer experienced 396.6 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That lands within the usual 120–180 minute national benchmark band, roughly on par with typical U.S. distribution-utility performance. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 3.42, putting the typical customer at roughly 3 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 296.5 minutes, and the spread against the headline 396.6 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.
West Florida El Coop Assn, Inc has 3 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2021–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. SAIDI dropped from 678.2 to 396.6 minutes across that span, a direction regulators and prospective customers tend to watch closely.
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.
