What long-outage Southeastern Indiana R E M C filings show
Southeastern Indiana R E M C is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Indiana under EIA identifier 17599. It reports service to approximately 28,236 customer accounts and generated about $0.07 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 31 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 Southeastern Indiana R E M C customer experienced 399.3 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). That runs well past the 120–180 minute national benchmark, which can reflect storm-exposed terrain, an aging grid, or slower restoration times. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 2.16 for the same period, so customers statistically faced roughly 2 distinct interruptions that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 315.6 minutes; the difference from the headline 399.3 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.
With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Southeastern Indiana R E M C's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. Over that window, SAIDI moved from 552.0 down to 399.3 minutes, a trend worth noting for anyone weighing capital investment outcomes.
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.
