Remember all the hype about Rochester, home of the Mayo Clinic, freezing in the dark on a respirator without a job?<\/p>\n

On p. 18 there’s some important info.  First, the number of customers has increased slightly:<\/p>\n

\"RPU<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And note that RPU’s peak demand was also in 2006 (I wish they’d go back a lot further):<\/p>\n

Now look at this – the average MWH\/customer:<\/p>\n

\"rpu-averagemwhspercustomer\"<\/a>Here’s some interesting information – their SAIDI, SAIFI and CAIDI reports — what changed in 2002 that dramatically altered the SAIDI statistics going forward:<\/p>\n

All in all, a very interesting report, clear, easy for non-wonks to understand, it’s got a good beat and you can dance to it, I’ll give it a 98!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
