Reliability Performance Measures To Be Disclosed
By Trans Power
(Disclosure Under Regulation 17)

1996-97 1995-96 1994-95 1993-94
**1. Total number of unplanned interruptions*** 164 229 184 234
Resulting from 92 loss of supply incidents in 1996-97
2. Electricity customer interruptions in system minutes... 13.6 12.2 19.5 15.1
planned 2.1 5.8 4.4 5.6
unplanned 11.5 6.4 15.1 9.5
3. Underlying electricity customer interruptions in system minutes... 6.9 7.1 14.1 10.3
Underlying interruptions are those interruptions of 1 system minute or less duration
planned 2.1 3.1 2.9 4.3
unplanned 4.8 4.0 11.2 6.0
4. Average supply reliability...% 99.9959 99.9963 99.9942 99.9956
Measured by the energy supplied divided by the sum of the energy supplied and not supplied
5. Uneconomic generation due to planned and unplanned transmission system unavailability...% 0.55 0.81 0.68 0.81
Uneconomic generation relates to the amount of electricity generated from any source other than the most economic source.
6. Uneconomic generation due to HVDC system unavailability...% 0.47 0.73 0.60 0.69
7. Uneconomic generation due to unplanned transmission system unavailability...% 0.12 0.22 0.15 0.07
8. Planned interruption restoration performance...% 72 80.5 92.5 76.6
9. Unplanned interruption response...% 100 99.1 100 99.6

The information compiled using estimated information includes Part V sections 2,3,4,5,6 and 7.

The methodology used to calculate the estimated information is documented and available from Trans Power upon request.

  • Where two supply voltages, or two customers, at the same station are both interrupted this is counted as two interruptions.
