  • Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission Electric Utility Reliability Report 2020
    INDIANA UTILITY REGULATORY COMMISSION ELECTRIC UTILITY RELIABILITY REPORT 2020 Each investor-owned electric utility (IOU) in Indiana is required to file a reliability report annually with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC or Commission) in compliance with 170 IAC 4-1-23(e). This document serves as a compilation of the reports filed for 2020. This Report includes a graph for each IOU to illustrate the trends in these reliability metrics through 2020 with data starting as early as 2002. The utilities provide the following three reliability indices in their annual reports to the IURC. System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI): This is the average number of interruptions per customer. It is calculated by dividing the total number of customer interruptions by the total number of customers. System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI): SAIDI is the average minutes of interruption per customer. It is calculated by dividing the sum of all customer interruption durations (in minutes) by the total number of customers. Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI): CAIDI is the average duration of interruptions or the time to restore service to interrupted customers. It is calculated by dividing SAIDI by SAIFI. Each utility reports its reliability indices with and without major events (Major Event Days or MEDs). Major events are primarily storms or weather events that are more destructive than normal storm patterns. However, major events may also include ice storms, earthquakes, floods, fires, high winds / tornados, and other disasters. Historically, it is important to note that the same definition of “major event” has not been used by all electric utilities, which makes comparisons with some other utilities more difficult.
