Write a short note on Transmission and distribution losses.

Solution

Transmission and Distribution Losses : They refer to electricity produced but not paid for. The current level of Transmission and Distribution (T&D) losses is very high. In Delhi, T & D losses of electricity are close to the tune of 50% of electricity production. In most of the states of the country, it is more than 20%. It is owing to the mounting T&D losses that most states are now opting for privatisation of the distribution network.
