Carroll-White REMC

What This Utility Data Tells You

Carroll-White REMC is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Indiana under EIA identifier 27599. It reports service to approximately 15,033 customer accounts and generated about $0.05 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 19 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 Carroll-White REMC customer experienced 644.0 minutes of power interruptions — a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That is substantially above the 120–180 minute national benchmark, indicating either storm-prone geography, aging infrastructure, or extended restoration windows. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 246.1 minutes — the gap between that figure and the headline 644.0 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Carroll-White REMC, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI has increased from 637.0 to 644.0 minutes, which may reflect either worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization. All figures on this page come directly from EIA Form 861, the federal annual electric power industry survey, with service territory ZIPs sourced from OpenEI — you can cross-reference them with your own utility bill or use them when comparing providers before relocating.
