Dubois Rural Electric Coop Inc

What This Utility Data Tells You

Dubois Rural Electric Coop Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Indiana under EIA identifier 5394. It reports service to approximately 14,337 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 28 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 Dubois Rural Electric Coop Inc customer experienced 199.0 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. That lands within the usual 120–180 minute national benchmark band, roughly on par with typical U.S. distribution-utility performance. The SAIFI figure, which tracks average outage events per customer, came in at 1.89 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 2 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 113.0 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 199.0 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

Dubois Rural Electric Coop Inc has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. Over that span, SAIDI rose from 129.0 to 199.0 minutes, possibly reflecting tougher weather years or grid upgrades that have not caught up yet.
