The average citizen and business experiences over 120 minutes of electricity outage duration a year. This has a significant societal impact costing 10s to hundreds of billions of dollars annually. Furthermore, the measure of customer outage time—Systems Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI)—is on an upward trend as a result of aging infrastructure and other factors.
