Interruptions and minutes lost, 2024/25

Ofgem RIIO-ED2 annual figures for 2024/25. Customer interruptions (CI) are interruptions per 100 customers. Customer minutes lost (CML) are minutes per connected customer. A higher number is worse. The mark on each bar is that operator's target. A higher figure is worse. The sheet total is the published GB total and is not the sum of these rows.
