What do you mean by the transmission and distribution losses ? How can they be reduced?

Solution

The electricity generated by the various power stations is not consumed entirely by ultimate consumers. A part of it is consumed by power stations and auxiliaries. While transmitting power, a portion is lost in transmission. It is a great loss to the nation. Efforts should be made to recover losses by using new technology.
