b. Three percent Feeder list<br />

i. Identify whether any feeders appear on the 3% listing more than once<br />

within a consecutive 5-yr. period and any actions implemented to<br />

improve feeder per<strong>for</strong>mance.<br />

• See attached <strong>for</strong>m on Page 24.<br />

ii. The process used to identify and select the actions to improve the<br />

per<strong>for</strong>mance of feeders in the 3% feeder list, if any.<br />

P EF prioritizes the reliability improvement action plan <strong>for</strong> 3% Feeder List by<br />

balancing historical and current year per<strong>for</strong>mance. Feeders are evaluated<br />

based on the number of interruptions, customers interrupted (CI), and<br />

customer minutes of interruption (CMI). In addition, current year<br />

per<strong>for</strong>mance is monitored monthly to identify emergent and seasonal issues<br />

including load balancing <strong>for</strong> cold weather and the need <strong>for</strong> foot patrols of<br />

feeders experiencing multiple interruptions.<br />

iii. 2013 activities and budget levels directed at improving feeder<br />

per<strong>for</strong>mance.<br />

Feeders are prioritized <strong>for</strong> maintenance and replacement work based on<br />

several criteria including customer minutes of interruption (CMJ), number of<br />

interruptions, interruption cause code, and CEMI repeat outage per<strong>for</strong>mance.<br />

This process results in a work plan targeted atfeeders and devices having the<br />

greatest impact on reliability indices and customer satisfaction. This process<br />

has resulted in consistent and sustained reliability per<strong>for</strong>mance.<br />

The 3% feeder list is based solely on number of interruptions and does not<br />

take into consideration any of the additional criteria above. While all feeders<br />

on the 3% list are patrolled <strong>for</strong> corrective action, the possibility exists that<br />

they could appear on the list more than once due to their relative impact on<br />

system reliability indices.<br />

Budget" Spreadsheet.<br />
