Reliability of Supply

CEB keeps enhancing its reliability of supply.

The CEB is committed to improving its reliability of supply and preventing power interruptions by the continuous monitoring of its SAIDI and SAIFI indices in line with best international practices.
 
Table 1.0 and 2.0 below provides for SAIDI*, SAIFI** and CAIDI figures for the past four years.

* SAIDI is the System Average Interruption Duration Index i.e. the average duration of interruption of electricity experienced by a customer during the year.

** SAIFI is System Average Interruption Frequency Index i.e. the average number of times a customer has experienced interruption of electricity during the year.
