Four County Elec Member Corp

What This Utility Data Tells You

Four County Elec Member Corp is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in North Carolina under EIA identifier 6640. It reports service to approximately 34,790 customer accounts and generated about $0.10 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 40 ZIP codes. Being member-owned, this cooperative answers to its ratepayers rather than outside shareholders, a structure that tends to influence how rate cases and capital spending get decided.

In 2023, the average Four County Elec Member Corp customer experienced 124.8 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. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 124.8 minutes; the difference from the headline 124.8 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

Four County Elec Member 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 dropped from 344.9 to 124.8 minutes across that span, a direction regulators and prospective customers tend to watch closely.
