System Integrity
At WRVEC, accurate and dependable systems are imperative to our success. Through maintaining a solid network and continually evaluating areas for growth, we are able to provide some of the most reliable energy in the country.
Average Service Availability Index
To measure system performance, the electric utility industry developed the ASAI percentage. This calculation is complex, but involves the help of some other key indecies. This combined information gives WRVEC an average availability of 99.69%, meaning that the Cooperative is undoubtedly reliable and that our members receive dependable power nearly 100% of the time.
2019 System Projects
Our system’s reliability takes into account both regular maintenance and upgrades.

Dedication Through Overtime
We excel at delivering reliable power to our membership. However, this accomplishment does not come easy. Unforeseen events, such as severe weather, often require more effort to keep the lights on for our members. WRVEC employees spend many hours over their normal work schedules to do just that.
The graph depicts the annual amount of overtime they incur.
These hours, combined with excellent safety procedures, provide the reliability our members depend on. Remember to #ThankALineworker.
