Return on Investment (ROI) Estimate: 3.88%

And its importance is clear from the fact that any failure or breakdown in providing services can cost the loss of precious life as has happened several times in Texas due to power breakdowns. Therefore, it’s no surprise that key utility locations are often categorized as national security assets.
