What mid-pack Pioneer Rural Elec Coop, Inc - (OH) filings show
Pioneer Rural Elec Coop, Inc - (OH) is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Ohio under EIA identifier 15054. It reports service to approximately 17,220 customer accounts and generated about $0.07 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 43 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 Pioneer Rural Elec Coop, Inc - (OH) customer experienced 170.0 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That is comfortably under the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, a sign of solid grid resilience and quick outage response. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 1.77, putting the typical customer at roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 94.8 minutes, and the spread against the headline 170.0 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.
Pioneer Rural Elec Coop, Inc - (OH) has 4 years of continuous EIA reporting on file (2020–2023), enough to read a real trend rather than a single-year snapshot. SAIDI climbed from 131.5 to 170.0 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
Based on this utility's own EIA Form 861 reliability record -- baseline (major-event- excluded) outage duration, total outage duration, and outage frequency -- each benchmarked against every reporting utility nationwide. Not a measure of electricity rates or customer service, which this portal does not track.
