Lorain-Medina R E C, Inc

What This Utility Data Tells You

Lorain-Medina R E C, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Ohio under EIA identifier 11200. It reports service to approximately 16,765 customer accounts and generated about $0.05 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 22 ZIP codes. Cooperative ownership means the utility is run for the benefit of the ratepayer-members who elect its board, rather than for shareholder returns, which can shift how rate and investment decisions get made.

In 2023, the average Lorain-Medina R E C, Inc customer experienced 211.8 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That lands within the usual 120–180 minute national benchmark band, roughly on par with typical U.S. distribution-utility performance. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 129.1 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 211.8 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.

Lorain-Medina R E C, 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 224.7 down to 211.8 minutes, a trend worth noting for anyone weighing capital investment outcomes.
