Shelby Energy Coop, Inc - (KY)

What This Utility Data Tells You

Shelby Energy Coop, Inc - (KY) is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Kentucky under EIA identifier 17044. It reports service to approximately 17,834 customer accounts and generated about $0.05 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 31 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 Shelby Energy Coop, Inc - (KY) customer experienced 432.3 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. Excluding major weather events from that total, 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 2.06 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Once major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) are excluded, SAIDI comes down to 186.9 minutes, and the spread against the headline 432.3 indicates how much weather, versus routine infrastructure, drove the outage total.

Shelby Energy Coop, Inc - (KY) 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 132.0 to 432.3 minutes over that window, a shift that can point to worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
