Clark Energy Coop Inc - (KY)

What This Utility Data Tells You

Clark Energy Coop Inc - (KY) is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Kentucky under EIA identifier 3687. It reports service to approximately 28,011 customer accounts and generated about $0.06 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 30 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 Clark Energy Coop Inc - (KY) customer experienced 528.2 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, 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 2.25 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 193.8 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 528.2 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Clark Energy Coop Inc - (KY), which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI climbed from 221.5 to 528.2 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
