Daviess Martin County R E M C

What This Utility Data Tells You

Daviess Martin County R E M C is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Indiana under EIA identifier 4848. It reports service to approximately 8,462 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 26 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 Daviess Martin County R E M C customer experienced 242.3 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That falls inside the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, in line with what most U.S. distribution utilities report. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 1.60 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 164.4 minutes; the difference from the headline 242.3 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Daviess Martin County R E M C's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI dropped from 900.0 to 242.3 minutes across that span, a direction regulators and prospective customers tend to watch closely.
