This indicator captures the financial impact of electrical outages on businesses by quantifying the average
revenue losses experienced by firms within a given period, expressed as a percentage of their total annual sales. By focusing on companies that reported interruptions in power supply, the metric provides invaluable insights into the operational challenges faced in sustaining productivity and profitability. A higher percentage indicates a significant vulnerability to power disruptions, which can inform policymakers and utility providers about the need for enhanced infrastructure and reliability measures. Additionally, understanding these losses can help businesses develop strategic contingency plans to mitigate risks associated with electrical outages, ultimately contributing to more resilient economic environments.
