Description
Generation of power by power stations passes through the complex and large
network. Many types of equipment are used in the process of transmitting to
the end-users, such as transformer, overhead lines, cables, and other
equipment. It has been observed that the amount of power generated by
Generating Companies (GENCO) compared to the amount of power reaching
the Distribution Companies (DISCO) and neither does it matches the amount
reaching the customers. This paper reviews all forms of Technical and Non-
Technical losses and also lay emphasis on the accurate estimation on the
amount of both losses recorded over the past years and how to reduce both
Technical and Non-technical losses in Nigeria.
