8003 Natural Gas Service Reliability and System Planning Standards - 8.0 Annual Reports

8.1Reliability Performance#

8.1.1By April 30 of each year, each GDC shall file with the Commission an annual Reliability Performance Report ("RPR") providing an overall assessment of the state of system Reliability in the GDC's service territory for the previous calendar year activities. The RPR shall include an assessment of the results/effectiveness of Reliability objectives, planned actions, projects, and programs implemented to achieve the Acceptable Reliability Level. The RPR shall include the GDC's actual year-end performance measure results.#

8.1.2The RPR shall include the GDC's Delivery facilities' year-end performance measures as follows:#

8.1.2.1AOR and AOD measures:#

8.1.2.1.1AOR and AOD measured by Planned and Unplanned Outages for the current year and three-year average reflecting Delaware performance, classified by distribution systems as identified in subsection 4.4. and in total, as compared to the Benchmarks established in subsection 4.2.#

8.1.2.1.2AOR and AOD measured by Planned, Unplanned Outages and in total for the current and previous five (5) years compared to Benchmarks.#

8.1.3The RPR shall identify distribution systems that are identified by the GDC as having the poorest Reliability according to the criteria established in subsection 4.4.#

8.1.3.1Current and previous five (5) year summary level Outage data shall include:#

8.1.3.1.1Number of Outages by Outage type (Planned and Unplanned).#

8.1.3.1.2Number of Outages by Outage cause.#

8.1.3.1.3Total number of customers at year end.#

8.1.3.1.4Total number of customers that experienced an Outage.#

8.1.3.1.5Total customer minutes of Outage time by Outage type.#

8.1.3.1.6Total customer minutes of Outage time by Outage cause.#

8.1.3.2The GDC shall indicate any planned Corrective Actions to improve system performance and target dates for completion or explain why no action is required.#

8.1.4The RPR shall include a summary of each Major Reliability Event for which data was excluded, and an assessment of the measurable impact on reported performance measures.#

8.1.5In the event that an GDC's Reliability performance measure does not meet the performance measures established in subsection 4.2, the RPR shall include a description of system issues impacting Reliability and all Corrective Actions that are planned by the GDC; the estimated cost of Corrective Actions; and the target dates by which the Corrective Actions shall be completed. If no Corrective Actions are planned, an explanation shall be provided.#

8.2Infrastructure, Safety, and Reliability Plan Annual Report#

8.2.1By April 30th of each year, starting April 30, 2021, each GDC shall submit an ISR annual report simultaneous with ISR plan submission discussed in Section 6.0 for the previous year, which shall include:#

8.2.1.1Overall progress.#

8.2.1.2Budget to actual variance for each spending category, and discussion of the drivers of the variance. An explanation of the variance for any program or project exceeding $1,000,000 that was completed in the reporting year and exceeds +/- 10% of the proposed budget.#

8.2.1.3Comparison of actual versus planned project implementation and discussion of deviations, including delays and accelerated work; and an explanation for inclusion of any program, project, or group of Related Projects with a total cost estimate exceeding $1,000,000 that were not previously included in an ISR.#

8.2.1.4Comparison of infrastructure replacement program activities to the ISR, and discussion of deviations and drivers.#
