Jackson Energy Coop Corp, KY
Jackson Energy Coop Corp's outage record
15.3 hours without electricity across 3.4 separate outages - Jackson Energy Coop Corp's record for Kentucky puts it near the bottom of every utility on file. That is 124% more outage time than the Kentucky state average of 6.8 hours a year.
How long a single Jackson Energy Coop Corp outage runs
Outages here average 4.5 hours before power returns. At that length, continuous fuel supply matters more than stored capacity, which favors a standby generator over anything battery-based. Why outage length, not count, picks the backup: how often vs how long.
What this means for buying a generator
Serving 53,902 customers here, Jackson Energy Coop Corp is among the least reliable grids in the country on file. You should get a generator here; going without one means betting against the grid's own filed history.
The source behind this number
Jackson Energy Coop Corp filed these numbers itself, as a member-owned cooperative, under EIA Form 861 - a federal reliability report covering its entire Kentucky territory, serving 53,902 customers here, not a single street or outage.
