Power Loss in Distribution, Transmission Network at 9.2%

Electricity loss in Iran’s distribution and transmission network stands at 9.2%, which is acceptable considering the vast coverage of the power grid, the spokesman of the power industry said.
However, “it is ideal to reduce this rate to 8.5%, and serious measures has been taken in this regard,” Mostafa Rajabi-Mashhadi was also quoted as saying by Bargh News website.
Electricity wastage has been on a downtrend since 2014 when it was 15%. Substituting aging equipment, electric cables, utility posts and electric meters, as well as fighting illegal use (theft) were among measures adopted by Tavanir (the Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company) to minimize the loss.
