What short-outage Hancock-Wood Electric Coop Inc filings show
Hancock-Wood Electric Coop Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Ohio under EIA identifier 8034. It reports service to approximately 13,651 customer accounts and generated about $0.05 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 50 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 Hancock-Wood Electric Coop Inc customer experienced 70.0 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. That keeps this utility below the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, consistent with a well-hardened distribution system and fast restoration crews. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 0.85 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 1 distinct interruption that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 57.4 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 70.0 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.
Hancock-Wood 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 window, SAIDI moved from 174.9 down to 70.0 minutes, a trend worth noting for anyone weighing capital investment outcomes.
Based on this utility's own EIA Form 861 reliability record -- baseline (major-event- excluded) outage duration, total outage duration, and outage frequency -- each benchmarked against every reporting utility nationwide. Not a measure of electricity rates or customer service, which this portal does not track.
