Self-reported
Utilities report these figures to EIA themselves; EIA does not audit every submission, and outages from recent months appear only in the next annual release. Major storm days
Outage figures can be shown with or without Major Event Days (severe storms). We show both on utility pages and never cherry-pick. A correction?
We republish the official record verbatim. If a figure looks wrong, see Corrections; we re-check it against EIA.
We show EIA values as published, reformatting only for a consistent house style. How we display these figures.
