Carteret-Craven El Member Corp

What This Utility Data Tells You

Carteret-Craven El Member Corp is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in North Carolina under EIA identifier 3107. It reports service to approximately 42,604 customer accounts and generated about $0.07 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 20 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 Carteret-Craven El Member Corp customer experienced 180.0 minutes of power interruptions — a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That sits within the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, indicating performance typical of U.S. distribution utilities. SAIFI — the average number of outage events per customer — was 1.45 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 81.4 minutes — the gap between that figure and the headline 180.0 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

Only a single year of reliability data is available, so multi-year trend analysis is not yet possible for Carteret-Craven El Member Corp. 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.
