Aggregate technical and commercial losses differ from transmission and distribution losses by including

  • A.the failure to collect payment for energy billed
  • B.the losses in the generating station's auxiliaries
  • C.the energy consumed by the utility's own offices
  • D.the losses in the consumer's own installation

Answer: A

Correct answer: the failure to collect payment for energy billed

Transmission and distribution loss measures only the energy that fails to reach a paying meter. The aggregate technical and commercial figure adds the billing and collection failure, so it reports energy sent out against revenue actually realised. That is a more honest measure of a utility’s health, and the gap between the two numbers is where theft and uncollected bills sit.
