What This Utility Data Tells You
Caney Fork Electric Coop, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Tennessee under EIA identifier 2960. It reports service to approximately 35,186 customer accounts and generated about $0.07 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 25 ZIP codes. Being member-owned, this cooperative answers to its ratepayers rather than outside shareholders, a structure that tends to influence how rate cases and capital spending get decided.
In 2023, the average Caney Fork Electric Coop, Inc customer experienced 549.0 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index.

Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 162.0 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 549.0 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.
The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Caney Fork Electric Coop, Inc, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot.
