Butler Rural Electric Coop Inc - (OH)

What This Utility Data Tells You

Butler Rural Electric Coop Inc - (OH) is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Ohio under EIA identifier 2651. It reports service to approximately 11,740 customer accounts and generated about $0.03 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 15 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 Butler Rural Electric Coop Inc - (OH) customer experienced 194.9 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (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. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 2.37 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 2 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 104.4 minutes, and the spread against the headline 194.9 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.

Butler Rural Electric Coop Inc - (OH) has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. SAIDI has improved from 199.4 to 194.9 minutes over that window, a meaningful direction for prospective customers and regulators watching capital investment outcomes.
