Carroll Electric Coop Corp - (AR)

What This Utility Data Tells You

Carroll Electric Coop Corp - (AR) is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Arkansas under EIA identifier 3093. It reports service to approximately 104,679 customer accounts and generated about $0.23 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 72 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 Carroll Electric Coop Corp - (AR) customer experienced 371.1 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. Excluding major weather events from that total, that sits within the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, indicating performance typical of U.S. distribution utilities. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 2.22 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 2 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 140.7 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 371.1 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

Carroll Electric Coop Corp - (AR) 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 increased from 110.2 to 371.1 minutes, which may reflect either worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
