Every completed forecast is compared with when power actually returned. As of Aug 29, 10,280 completed outages have been graded this way — median error 1.6 hours across the most recent 600 of them (about 2.6 days), and we publish the misses.

How accurate is the restoration estimate?
Every estimate is later graded against when the tracked outage was substantially restored (~90% of customers back), and the track record is published on our accuracy page. Estimates firm up a few hours into an outage once a steady restoration trend appears; very small outages are marked "too small to estimate" rather than guessed.
