Con Edison Named Most Reliable Electric Provider in New York, Outages Occur Once Every Nine Years.

Con Edison’s electric delivery service is one of the most reliable in New York, according to data from the New York State Public Service Commission. The Commission, which regulates the industry to ensure safe, reliable service, found that a typical Con Edison customer would experience an outage once every nine years based on the company’s performance in 2023. The company’s System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI) number was.11, while the SAIFI for the rest of the state was.94. This means that Con Edison’s service was nearly nine times as reliable as the service of other electric providers in the state. Con Edison maintains its reliability through extensive investments in underground and overhead cables and transformers, substation equipment, circuit breakers, and other components.
