Abstract

Electricity loss as a percentage of total electricity generated is very high in most developing country utilities. The paper analyses the effects of reducing electricity losses on generation mix, capacity expansion plan, and environmental performance in the case of a predominantly hydroelectric utility in Nepal from a long-term power generation expansion planning perspective. A key finding of the study is that reductions of technical losses in transmission and distribution system do not always reduce emissions of air pollutants from power generation.
