This indicator reflects the median duration, in days, needed to establish a permanent electricity connection, encapsulating the real-world experiences of customers rather than merely the legal timeline. It emphasizes the practical challenges faced during the connection process, which may include bureaucratic hurdles, technical delays, and the coordination between various service providers. By assessing the average time taken, this measure not only sheds light on the efficiency of the electricity utility but also highlights the user experience, revealing critical areas for improvement in service delivery. Understanding this duration is paramount for policymakers aiming to enhance infrastructure efficiency and provide a smoother transition to reliable electricity access for households and businesses alike.
