What long-outage Carroll-White REMC filings show
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 measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. Excluding major weather events from that total, that falls inside the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, in line with what most U.S. distribution utilities report. 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.
Carroll-White REMC has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. SAIDI climbed from 637.0 to 644.0 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
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.

Price vs. reliability
Where Carroll-White REMC sits on price vs. reliability
Among the 781 U.S. utilities large enough to report both revenue per customer and a recent outage record, Carroll-White REMC charges more per customer than 83% of them, and is more reliable (lower SAIDI) than 15% of them, placing it in the quadrant where it pays more but is LESS reliable, a premium price without a reliability payoff. Revenue per customer and outage minutes are independent figures: paying more does not guarantee fewer outages.
Revenue per customer: $3,259/year · Latest SAIDI: 644.0 minutes/year.
