What This Utility Data Tells You

Jones-Onslow Elec Member Corp is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in North Carolina under EIA identifier 9837. It reports service to approximately 82,470 customer accounts and generated about $0.15 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 25 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 Jones-Onslow Elec Member Corp customer experienced 73.8 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (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 0.88 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 1 distinct interruption that year.

Jones-Onslow 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 82.1 to 73.8 minutes across that span, a direction regulators and prospective customers tend to watch closely.
