What This Utility Data Tells You

Clark County Rural E M C - (IN) is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Indiana under EIA identifier 22822. It reports service to approximately 27,898 customer accounts and generated about $0.07 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 18 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 Clark County Rural E M C - (IN) customer experienced 289.3 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that places this utility well below the 120–180 minute national benchmark, signaling strong grid hardening and fast restoration practices. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 2.14 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 72.0 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 289.3 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

Clark County Rural E M C - (IN) 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 220.2 to 289.3 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
