AI summary NSPI clarifies that annual tree contact outages exclude a 40% weather adjustment factor, estimating it via technician feedback. Outage reductions in 2025 resulted from favorable weather and $45M in vegetation management investments. NSPI emphasizes ongoing reliability improvements through the Five-Year Reliability Plan.

AI summary The 2025 CHI was driven by prolonged restoration times from complex outages, with top equipment failure events accounting for over 55% of customer interruption hours. NSPI attributes increased conductor failures to infrastructure stress from high wind hours, not direct weather correlation, as noted in the 2026 ACE Plan. Weather impacts were minimal compared to equipment-related causes.

AI summary The 2025 Annual Performance Standards Report (NSEB M12784) details NSPI's responses to NSEB information requests, including corrected data on equipment failure rates (18% erroneously stated, corrected to 14%) and references to the 2026 ACE Plan (M12619). Failure events declined from 3,530 in 2020 to 2,091 in 2025.

AI summary The text requests NSPI to clarify methodologies for calculating reliability metrics (SAIDI/SAIFI), verify data alignment with the 2026 ACE Plan, and explain assumptions about outage attributions (e.g., 40% adverse weather factor). It also seeks validation of the 40% allocator's basis and source.
