- The project involves purchase and installation of 34 reclosers across 27 distribution feeders, selected based on a Customer Interruptions (CI) × Customer Hours (CH) weighting for full feeder outages not caused by transmission loss; NSPI estimated 24,860 avoided customer interruptions and 37,292 avoided customer hours annually.
