- SAIFI with major event days: 0.59 interruptions for each customer in 2024.
| Figure | This utility | Minnesota, median of 43 utilities | Minnesota, EIA total | US, median of 893 utilities |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SAIDI with major event days (minutes per customer per year) | 34.3 | 76.7 | 219.6 | 184.5 |

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.
