Boone County Rural EMC

What This Utility Data Tells You

Boone County Rural EMC is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Indiana under EIA identifier 24753. It reports service to approximately 17,872 customer accounts and generated about $0.07 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 18 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 Boone County Rural EMC customer experienced 139.8 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. That falls inside the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, in line with what most U.S. distribution utilities report. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 1.28 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 139.8 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 139.8 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Boone County Rural EMC's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI has increased from 90.0 to 139.8 minutes, which may reflect either worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
