Appendix A provides the actual 2010 reliability performance for each EDC and the benchmarks and<br />
standards for each reliability index.<br />
We also have assessed the average reliability performance of EDCs for a three-year period, utilizing data<br />
from 2008, 2009 and 2010. Overall, the three-year average performance has improved. One EDC (Pike<br />
County) failed to meet its rolling three-year CAIDI performance standard by 31 minutes. One EDC<br />
(Met-Ed) failed to meet its rolling three-year SAIFI performance standard by 0.09, as compared to three<br />
EDCs in the previous year’s comparison. No EDC exceeded the SAIDI standards, and all EDCs have<br />
shown an improvement in their three-year SAIDI averages.<br />
The actual 2008, 2009 and 2010 performance for each EDC and the results of the three-year<br />
performance analysis also are displayed in Appendix A.<br />
During 2010, 23 requests for exclusion of major events were filed by the EDCs. All of these requests<br />
were approved, with the exception of one partial approval. A major event exclusion request may be<br />
denied for a variety of reasons, including such things as the event not meeting the 10 percent threshold<br />
of customers interrupted or the failure of equipment without supporting maintenance records. A brief<br />
description of each major event is provided in the individual EDC sections.<br />
