What mid-pack Carroll Electric Member Corp - (GA) filings show
Carroll Electric Member Corp - (GA) is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Georgia under EIA identifier 3081. It reports service to approximately 55,425 customer accounts and generated about $0.13 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 24 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 Member Corp - (GA) customer experienced 192.5 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 1.76 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 132.6 minutes, and the spread against the headline 192.5 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.
With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Carroll Electric Member Corp - (GA)'s reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI dropped from 1098.1 to 192.5 minutes across that span, a direction regulators and prospective customers tend to watch closely. Note: this figure is unusually low compared to typical U.S. utility performance and may reflect an incomplete EIA filing for this year rather than a genuine reliability improvement -- treat with caution and cross-check against Carroll Electric Member Corp - (GA)'s other reported years.
Based on this utility's own EIA Form 861 reliability record -- baseline (major-event- excluded) outage duration, total outage duration, and outage frequency -- each benchmarked against every reporting utility nationwide. Not a measure of electricity rates or customer service, which this portal does not track.
