Ensuring Reliability of Supply

We are dedicated to enhancing the reliability of power supply and minimising power interruptions. This commitment is supported by the continuous monitoring of SAIDI, SAIFI, and CAIDI indices, aligned with best international practices.

Presented below are the SAIDI*, SAIFI**, and CAIDI figures for the past five years (2020–2024), reflecting ongoing efforts to maintain and improve service reliability.
