The Aggregate Technical and Commercial (AT&C) losses have registered 29 per cent of the total generation in India, which equals a shocking Rs.45,000 crore in the fiscal year 2009-10. Andhra Pradesh stands first in ranking by CRISIL and ICRA on performance evaluation of the Discoms. The same is 18.43 per cent for APCPDCL with a lowest AT&C loss during 2008-09 financial year. Aggregate Technical and Commercial (AT&C) losses are mainly due to low metering efficiency, theft and pilferages. This may be eliminated by improving metering efficiency, proper energy accounting & auditing and improved billing and collection efficiency. After IT infrastructure comes in place as envisaged under of Restructured Accelerated Power Development Programme (RAPDRP), losses can be computed applying the base line data system and energy audit module created under IT infrastructure. The Base Line AT&C losses are be computed using above methodology and consideration of three billing cycle data of each project area.

Abstract


The Aggregate Technical and Commercial (AT&C) losses have registered 29 per cent of the total generation in India, which equals a shocking Rs.45,000 crore in the fiscal year 2009-10. Andhra Pradesh stands first in ranking by CRISIL and ICRA on performance evaluation of the Discoms. The same is 18.43 per cent for APCPDCL with a lowest AT&C loss during 2008-09 financial year. Aggregate Technical and Commercial (AT&C) losses are mainly due to low metering efficiency, theft and pilferages. This may be eliminated by improving metering efficiency, proper energy accounting & auditing and improved billing and collection efficiency. After IT infrastructure comes in place as envisaged under of Restructured Accelerated Power Development Programme (RAPDRP), losses can be computed applying the base line data system and energy audit module created under IT infrastructure. The Base Line AT&C losses are be computed using above methodology and consideration of three billing cycle data of each project area.
