What long-outage Holmes-Wayne Electric Coop Inc filings show
Holmes-Wayne Electric Coop Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Ohio under EIA identifier 8761. It reports service to approximately 17,892 customer accounts and generated about $0.05 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 31 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 Holmes-Wayne Electric Coop Inc customer experienced 581.0 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That exceeds the 120–180 minute national benchmark by a wide margin, a pattern often tied to severe weather exposure, older infrastructure, or longer repair windows. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 2.96, putting the typical customer at roughly 3 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 567.1 minutes, and the spread against the headline 581.0 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.
The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Holmes-Wayne Electric Coop Inc, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI climbed from 550.5 to 581.0 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
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.
