My alarm clock (old school radio alarm clock with big red digits) is plugged in and resets to 00:00 when there's no power. I would notice even the smallest outage this way (unless it happens exactly at midnight and lasts less than a minute).
That has happened maybe twice over the last 16 years. In both cases the outages were a few minutes at best. I live in Berlin; power outages are extremely rare here.
That 13.7 minutes is not for all house holds. In the rare case an outage happen, the very limited amount of households affected by that would experience that duration on average. And lets face it if something knocks out a major power line, which does happen, that single incident might take a few hours to resolve and would probably drag that average way up. Which means that I expect the median outage duration is probably a lot lower than the average; in the order of seconds or minutes at best.
"The number of interruptions per customer in 2023 was 0.34, which means that each customer is only affected by a disruption once every three years on average."
That sounds more like it. I generally only adjust the time on my alarm clock when daylight saving requires me to; twice a year.
Yes, super rare and short in Berlin. I'm originally from a rural area where overground high voltage lines between villages are common. There it's typically 1-2 hours of outage every 3-5 years or so. The local utility company has some truck-mounted generators to help out in smaller outages.
