What long-outage Southern Indiana R E C, Inc filings show
Southern Indiana R E C, Inc is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Indiana under EIA identifier 19445. It reports service to approximately 9,548 customer accounts and generated about $0.04 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 25 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 Southern Indiana R E C, Inc customer experienced 538.0 minutes of power interruptions, the industry-standard SAIDI metric (System Average Interruption Duration Index). Excluding major weather events from that total, that sits within the 120–180 minute national benchmark range, indicating performance typical of U.S. distribution utilities. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 3.08, putting the typical customer at roughly 3 distinct interruptions that year. Excluding major event days (hurricanes, ice storms), SAIDI drops to 163.0 minutes, the gap between that figure and the headline 538.0 reveals how much weather, not day-to-day infrastructure, drove outages.
The EIA dataset includes 4 years of continuous reporting (2020–2023) for Southern Indiana R E C, Inc, which lets you see whether reliability is trending up or down rather than judging from a single snapshot. SAIDI has increased from 196.0 to 538.0 minutes, which may reflect either 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.
