What This Utility Data Tells You

Jackson County Rural E M C - (IN) is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Indiana under EIA identifier 9576. It reports service to approximately 25,241 customer accounts and generated about $0.07 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 Jackson County Rural E M C - (IN) customer experienced 333.1 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. Excluding major weather events from that total, that lands within the usual 120–180 minute national benchmark band, roughly on par with typical U.S. distribution-utility performance. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 2.37 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 146.8 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 333.1 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Jackson County Rural E M C - (IN)'s reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI climbed from 212.3 to 333.1 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
