Warren Rural Elec Coop Corp

What This Utility Data Tells You

Warren Rural Elec Coop Corp is a member-owned electric cooperative operating in Kentucky under EIA identifier 20130. It reports service to approximately 74,528 customer accounts and generated about $0.22 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 50 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 Warren Rural Elec Coop Corp customer experienced 1030.8 minutes of power interruptions, a metric called SAIDI (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. SAIFI, the average number of outage events per customer, was 3.12 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 161.9 minutes; the difference from the headline 1030.8 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.

With 4 consecutive years of EIA data (2020–2023), Warren Rural Elec Coop Corp's reliability record can be judged on trend rather than one isolated year. SAIDI has increased from 209.3 to 1030.8 minutes, which may reflect either worsening weather exposure or delayed grid modernization.
