Distribution system performance
 
The distribution system performance is measured and reported on by the network interruption performance and the quality of supply measures.

Network interruption performance measures comprise reliability of supply (frequency of supply interruptions) and availability of supply (duration of the supply interruptions) to customers. Quality of supply measures reflect the quality of voltage level supplied to customers and comprise voltage dips (X, T, S and Z type), voltage regulation, total harmonic distortion and measures related to voltage unbalance.

The 12-month moving average targets for these measures are based on the regulatory and operational sustainability requirements to improve overall technical performance and customer satisfaction. Significant emphasis was placed on an integrated improvement strategy with specific short and medium term initiatives to improve the technical performance levels.
 
The Divisional plant performance table provides an overview of the key distribution technical performance measures and performance. The distribution and reticulation network transformer unavailability levels are measured by the distribution supply loss index (DSLI) and reticulation supply loss index (RSLI) respectively.
