Noble County R E M C

What This Utility Data Tells You

Noble County R E M C is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Indiana under EIA identifier 13647. It reports service to approximately 11,622 customer accounts and generated about $0.03 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 Noble County R E M C customer experienced 226.8 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that sits within the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, indicating performance typical of U.S. distribution utilities. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 1.94, putting the typical customer at roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 103.6 minutes, and the spread against the headline 226.8 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.

With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Noble County R E M C's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI climbed from 187.4 to 226.8 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
