What This Utility Data Tells You
Y-W Electric Assn Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Colorado under EIA identifier 21075. It reports service to approximately 8,815 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 19 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 Y-W Electric Assn Inc customer experienced 268.1 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. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 268.1 minutes, and the spread against the headline 268.1 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.
With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Y-W Electric Assn Inc's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. Over that window, SAIDI moved from 383.4 down to 268.1 minutes, a trend worth noting for anyone weighing capital investment outcomes.
