Increasing the voltage reduced the current in the transmission and distribution lines and hence the size of conductors and distribution losses.

Industry experts estimate distribution losses for 2006 will surpass 40 %, primarily due to low collection rates, theft, infrastructure problems and corruption.
23.
Regulators would also work to prevent widespread power theft, which is a main reason for high transmission and distribution losses in India.

In the SIN, distribution losses represented 23 % of the total in 2003, while transmission losses, according to ANDE, were 7.3 %.
25.
In 2006, distribution losses in Nicaragua were 28.8 %, the highest in Central America together with Honduras, whose average was 16.2 %.
26.
Distribution losses in 2005 were 6.52 %, down from 8 % a decade before and well below the 13.5 % LAC average.
27.
When the heat is captured, total efficiency can reach 80 90 % at the unit, but does not consider production and distribution losses.
28.
In Wadi Musa the Euro 11.3 million project achieved, for a brief period, continuous water supply as well as a reduction in distribution losses.
29.
The World Bank records that electricity distribution losses for 2005 totaled about 38.2 %, a rate of losses exceeded in only three other countries.
30.
Transmission and distribution losses, which includes electricity theft, was as high as 43 per cent in New Delhi last year, according to government figures.
