Now Available: 2021 Electricity Reliability Metrics

Bottom Line: Updated electric reliability data sets now available.  As NPGA and states continue to battle electrification efforts, it’s vital that our industry better understands the reliability and resiliency deficiencies of centralized electricity production. Electrons produced at power plants reach consumers via a complex network of delivery infrastructure that is constantly facing a barrage of natural and manmade obstacles that often inhibit the timely delivery of energy.

Members can now access 2021 electric reliability data that contains the following information for each state:

• How many minutes the average electric customer lost power during the year
• How many non-momentary power outages the average electric customer experienced during the year
• The average duration of each non-momentary power outage that occurred during the year

This information is available under the under the Fight Electrification section on the Member Dashboard. For more information, please contact NPGA’s Jacob Peterson.
