Hart Electric Member Corp, GA
Power reliability at Hart Electric Member Corp
Georgia's grid here runs a bit rougher than most: 1.6 outages from Hart Electric Member Corp in the most recent year, 5.1 hours total. That is 14% more outage time than the Georgia state average of 4.5 hours a year.
How long a single Hart Electric Member Corp outage runs
A single outage here runs long, about 3.2 hours on average - past what a battery or portable unit comfortably covers, which is where a standby generator with its own fuel line matters. The frequency-versus-duration guide covers why length decides the kind of backup.
What this means for buying a generator
Serving 40,346 customers here, Hart Electric Member Corp customers lose more power than most of the country sees, so a generator is worth getting rather than an overreaction.
The source behind this number
Hart Electric Member Corp filed these numbers itself, as a member-owned cooperative, under EIA Form 861 - a federal reliability report covering its entire Georgia territory, serving 40,346 customers here, not a single street or outage.
