  ABSTRACT: Data on time between complete power outages, Time between Failure (TBF) in Uyo were considered. Trend test and serial correlation test were conducted graphically for the data. The tests proved that the data were identically and independently distributed (iid). Summary statistics of the data showed that complete power outage occurred 416 times between the year 2014 and 2018. The maximum likelihood estimation method was used to estimate the parameters of Weibull 2-parameter, Normal, Lognormal 2-parameter and exponential distributions. The values of Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Anderson Darling and Chi-Square statistics were used to determine the best fit distributions. A model for the computation of reliability of electric power was then proposed.
