SAIFI, or the System Average Interruption Frequency Indicator is one of the industry-standard outage reporting measures used by NTPC. This indicator measures the average number of outages experienced by customers on a distribution system during a given time period. These interruptions may originate on generation, transmission, or distribution equipment. In 2015, NTPC's SAIFI results reached a 5-year low. This result was driven by diesel operation due to low water on the Snare System, which dramatically reduced outage frequency for customers in Yellowknife. SAIFI results by community for the 2015 calendar year are available here.

Diesel efficiency in the Hydro Division is a more significant contributor to overall corporate results compared to previous years, as a result of additional diesel generation requirements on the Snare System. Relatively higher efficiency of these units in continuous operation, compared to their normal stand-by operation has improved fuel efficiency results for both the Hydro Division and NTPC as a whole.

Lost Time Injuries are recorded as the number of person-days lost per 200,000 person-hours of labour by NTPC employees and contractors.
Due to a significant number of lifting and handling injuries in 2014/15 there is a focus in 2015/16 on back safety and lifting/handling education. This includes encouragement to do warm-up exercises prior to physical work. Safe Work Practices continue to be developed to aid workers in hazard identification and control.

SAIDI, the System Average Interruption Duration Indicator measures the total length of time an average customer is without power. During the 2015 calendar year, our SAIDI reached a 5-year low. This was mainly due to operation of diesel on the Snare System, which stabilised supply for Yellowknife customers, and to continued on-target performance from the Thermal Division. SAIDI results for all NTPC locations in 2015 are summarised here.

Productivity provides the ratio of total kWh of electrical generation to total NTPC labour hours.
Productivity has declined steadily over the last three years. The largest contributor to this decline has been a decrease in kWh generated.
Despite declining customer demand, NTPC employee labour hours have increased over the last five years, further eroding net productivity.
