Australia - Electric power transmission and distribution losses

Electric power transmission and distribution losses (kWh)

The value for Electric power transmission and distribution losses (kWh) in Australia was 17,009,000,000 as of 2009. As the graph below shows, over the past 49 years this indicator reached a maximum value of 18,777,000,000 in 2005 and a minimum value of 2,646,000,000 in 1961.

Definition: Electric power transmission and distribution losses include losses in transmission between sources of supply and points of distribution and in the distribution to consumers, including pilferage.
