How large will the ratio be between the SAIDI for the worst and best performing countries in the year 2020 for the EU-27?

Some experts state that the reliability of service will grow to a more uniform level of performance throughout Europe. Others think differences will be inherently and unavoidable.

Factors leading to a more uniform level of reliability of service are for instance: urbanisation and an increasing dependency on electrical power (leading to improvement for less performing areas by an economical drive), benchmarking between utilities (incentives by "naming" or "competition on excellence"), harmonizing regulation in particular related to quality (imposing equality on a European scale).

Factors indicating inherent differences in SAIDI are for example geographical circumstances, differences in regional economical values (same quality and same price level are mutually excluding), typical local load patterns (dependency differs), cultures and quality perceptions of customers (no pressure on improvement, preference for price, or using private emergency measures).

How large (or small) will the ratio be between the SAIDI for the worst and best performing countries in the year 2020 for the EU-27?
For example: from the data above it follows that the current ratio between the SAIDI between Lithuania (2007) and the Netherlands (2008) is 301/22 = 13.7. A more uniform level would mean a ratio close to 1.0.
