Source: Energy Report, INSTATComment and analysis: ODA As years have gone by, the strucutre of use as changed. From a ratio of Losses/Consumers…

Structure of final use of electricity

The structure of electricity consumption serves to identify its main users. It is an indicator that allows us to judge the scale of economic and industrial development of a country. The more electricity the private sector uses (industry, agriculture, transport, etc) the more developed the country is. On the other hand, analyzing the structure of final use helps to determine the measures necessary for a…

Total Losses of Electricity

Of the most important parameters for measuring the efficiency of the consumption of electricity is the level of losses. For many years this has been one of the biggest concerns of the energy sector and it appears that it is still very present. Total losses include Losses in the Distribution System, Losses in the Transmition System, and Non-technical Losses which refer to the electricity taken…

Production of Electricity by the Private Sector

The private sector that produces electricity mades up a small market and still has a low impact in the overall production of electricity in our country. Although after 2008 the number of private companies operating in this market has increased, the data shows that they are still far from being an important factor. Presently the private market is made up by small HEC-s which are…
