- 1 The safety culture performance within Alliander is measured according to the position on the safety ladder. The score and target for 2016 are based on the number of employees having achieved a safety proficiency level of at least 3.
- 2 From 2017, Alliander will report on customer satisfaction using the Net Effort Score (NES).
- 3 The outage duration in minutes indicates the average duration that our customers in the Liander area had no electricity during a one-year period. The stated outage duration for 2016 is based on low, medium and high voltage.
- 4 From 2017, Alliander will report the number of repeat outages based on cable number instead of post code area.
- 5 The KPI measures the extent to which the predefined milestones were achieved for the 25 most important risk-mitigating programmes or projects. The definition of KPI has changed compared to 2015, and KPI now focuses on intermediate milestones and not just on the final completion of a project.
- 6 The target for 2016 (424,000 addresses) deviates from the 2016 target as stated in the 2015 annual report and 2016 year plan (447,000 addresses). This is due to the fact that the definite timetable for the smart meter roll-out was completed after the publication of the annual report and year plan.
- 7 The CO2 emissions objective for 2016 was recalculated according to the most recent emission factors.
- 8 The Risks chapter clarifies the risks in more detail.
