Isfahan Power Co. Reports Less Wastage

Power wastage in Isfahan Province has fallen from 7.8% last year to 6.6%, said the managing director of Isfahan Province Electricity Distribution Company.
Electricity supplied from production points to end-users over long distances creates power losses along the way. The major part of the energy loss is in transformers, power lines and the energy lost as heat in conductors.
“Standardizing distribution network, using self-contained cables, replacing 20KV medium voltage cables, timely repairs and discarding malfunctioning equipment, supply lines, utility poles and electric meters are among measures taken to help reduce electricity loss,” the Energy Ministry news portal quoted Hamidreza Pirpiran as saying.
