Rayle Electric Membership Corp

What This Utility Data Tells You

Rayle Electric Membership Corp is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Georgia under EIA identifier 15700. It reports service to approximately 19,644 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 26 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 Rayle Electric Membership Corp customer experienced 456.0 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). 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 3.13 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 3 distinct interruptions that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 267.4 minutes; the difference from the headline 456.0 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Rayle Electric Membership Corp, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI has increased from 298.7 to 456.0 minutes, which may reflect either worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
