Ozarks Electric Coop Corp's outage record
This is one of the least reliable grids on file. Oklahoma's Ozarks Electric Coop Corp customers lost power 2.7 times in the most recent year, 17.4 hours in total. That is 265% more outage time than the Oklahoma state average of 4.8 hours a year.
What a typical outage at Ozarks Electric Coop Corp looks like
Outages here average 6.4 hours before power returns. At that length, continuous fuel supply matters more than stored capacity, which favors a standby generator over anything battery-based. The frequency-versus-duration guide covers why length decides the kind of backup.
What this means for buying a generator
Serving 13,027 customers here, Ozarks Electric Coop Corp is among the least reliable grids in the country on file. You should get a generator here; going without one means betting against the grid's own filed history.
Where this number comes from
Ozarks Electric Coop Corp filed these numbers itself, as a member-owned cooperative, under EIA Form 861 - a federal reliability report covering its entire Oklahoma territory, serving 13,027 customers here, not a single street or outage.
