Certain measures such as renovation,rehabilitation, capacitor installation andstrengthening the distribution system network are acontinuous process for controlling/reducingwastage of power/energy. The Transmission andDistribution losses for the past five years are givenbelow which indicate steady trend of efficiencyincrease:Table 14.22: Transmission & Distribution Lossesof Net System EnergyYearTransmission & Distribution(T & D) Losses (%)2006-07 21.52007-08 21.32008-09 21.12009-10 20.92010-11 20.8July-Mar2010-11 19.82011-12 19.5Source: National Transmission & Dispatch Company Ltd,Water & Power Development Authority216
