Flint Electric Membership Corp

What This Utility Data Tells You

Flint Electric Membership Corp is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Georgia under EIA identifier 6411. It reports service to approximately 94,521 customer accounts and generated about $0.23 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 49 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 Flint Electric Membership Corp customer experienced 143.0 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 1.43 for the same period, meaning customers statistically saw about 1 distinct interruption that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 103.9 minutes, and the spread against the headline 143.0 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.

Flint Electric Membership Corp has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. SAIDI has increased from 129.0 to 143.0 minutes, which may reflect either worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
