Electricity network ancillary equipment
Non-technical losses
Technical losses also include the energy involved in running network ancillary equipment such as transformer cooling fans and pumps, as well as other auxiliary energy supplies directly associated with electricity networks such as battery chargers, heating, lighting, air compressors, tunnel ventilation systems and others.
We are increasingly deploying metering equipment at our substations to accurately determine electricity consumption, investigate the benefits of micro generation and other actions to further reduce energy lost.
