Burimi: 2009 Annual ERE report
Comments and analysis: Open Data Albania
The graph shows that the amount billed (in nominal value) has been constantly increasing. This could be partly explained by the increase in electricity consumption, the price increase, but also by an increase in the amount of billed electricity. However even today the level of payments received leaves a lot to be desired. Although higher in absolute value (in billion leke) compared to the amounts billed, after 2007, the payments have fallen from 89% to 76%. As a matter of fact, one of the main critics towards KESH and OSSH (before privatization) has to do with their inability to increase payments received and stop electricity theft. Despite the privatization of OSSH by CEZ in 2009 the indicators of payments received seems to have worsened even further than the previous year.

Based on the data for total losses, in 2009, for every 100 kwh entered into the grid, 35 kwh are losses, in other words these are kwh-s that have not even been billed. The majority of losses (97%) are Losses in Distribution which is direct responsibility of OSSH. Out of the electricity that was distributed, only 76.4 of the payments are received. In conclusion, for every 100 kwh that is entered into the grid, only 50.4 kwh is being collected in terms of payments, therefore the coefficient of the distribution efficiency is 50.4% .
Note:
For every 100 KWh entered into the grid, 33.98% are losses in distribution. Out of 66.02% (100%-33.98%) of the distributed electricity, only 76.4% gets paid. Consequently, the coefficient of effectivenes of the distribution can be calcualted as : 76.4% e 66.02% = 50.439%
