How often the power goes out
In 2024 the average Jackson Energy Coop Corp customer went 856 minutes without electricity across 2.99 interruptions. The median across the 941 utilities that report this is 185 minutes.
That is far worse than typical, and figures at this level almost always reflect a major storm season rather than everyday performance. A single hurricane or ice storm can dominate the annual number.
Rooftop solar on this system
234 residential customers had net-metered solar in 2024, totalling 1.75 megawatts. That works out to 4.7 installations per thousand customers, against a median of 8 across the utilities reporting it.
Adoption is below the national median. A low retail rate reduces what solar displaces, and export compensation set at avoided cost rather than the retail rate reduces it further. What exports are actually worth.
