Reliability: SAIDI and SAIFI
Form EIA-861, 2024
- SAIDI with major event days: 95.2 minutes without power for each customer in 2024, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
- SAIDI without major event days: 49.8 minutes for each customer in 2024, 50 minutes.
- SAIFI with major event days: 0.98 interruptions for each customer in 2024.
| Figure | This utility | Wisconsin, median of 37 utilities | Wisconsin, EIA total | US, median of 893 utilities |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SAIDI with major event days (minutes per customer per year) | 95.2 | 51.0 | 266.1 | 184.5 |
| SAIDI without major event days (minutes per customer per year) | 49.8 | 32.8 | 91.3 | 99.8 |

The utility reported these figures to EIA with the IEEE 1366 standard. Methods differ between utilities. What SAIDI and SAIFI mean
For utilities using the IEEE method, a Major Event Day is any day that exceeds a daily SAIDI threshold called Tmed. Tmed is a duration statistic calculated from daily SAIDI values from the past five years. For utilities not using IEEE methods, Major Events are self-determined by the reporting utility.
