In the present study, we report on the performance evaluation of the Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHEDC) using the reliability index (System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI), System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI), Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI), and Customer Average Interruption Frequency Index (CAIFI)). A total of 10 sub-stations were used for the investigations. The results show that there is frequent power interruptions/outage in the study area. In particular, it is only in 25% of the stations, that the population of affected customers ? 1000 per station is recorded, indicating that urgent steps should be taken by the company for improved performance and service delivery to her customers.
