Distribution System Loss Act

An Act Institutionalizing the Rules on System Loss Cap for Electric Distribution Utilities

In plain language

The Distribution System Loss Act would limit how much of the electricity that is lost in the grid can be charged to consumers, set caps for private distributors (5 %) and for cooperatives (8‑12 % depending on their group), exclude transmission losses, and give the Energy Regulatory Commission power to verify charges, adjust caps and reward utilities that keep losses low.
