Licking Valley Rural E C C

What This Utility Data Tells You

Licking Valley Rural E C C is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Kentucky under EIA identifier 11011. It reports service to approximately 17,728 customer accounts and generated about $0.03 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 41 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 Licking Valley Rural E C C customer experienced 384.3 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that falls inside the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, in line with what most U.S. distribution utilities report. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 2.04 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 167.2 minutes, and the spread against the headline 384.3 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.

The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Licking Valley Rural E C C, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI climbed from 244.8 to 384.3 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
