Nolin Rural Electric Coop Corp

What This Utility Data Tells You

Nolin Rural Electric Coop Corp is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Kentucky under EIA identifier 13651. It reports service to approximately 37,581 customer accounts and generated about $0.08 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 29 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 Nolin Rural Electric Coop Corp customer experienced 730.0 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that places this utility well below the 120–180 minute national benchmark, signaling strong grid hardening and fast restoration practices. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 1.91, putting the typical customer at roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 60.4 minutes; the difference from the headline 730.0 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

Nolin Rural Electric Coop 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 has increased from 61.7 to 730.0 minutes, which may reflect either worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
