Revenue Protection, Metering and Technical Loss Reduction

Utilities across the region lose significant income to metering errors, tampering and technical losses in the network. This programme equips staff to measure losses accurately, detect theft and improve metering integrity. Delegates learn to separate technical from commercial losses and to build a practical loss reduction plan.

What you will be able to do

  • Distinguish technical losses from commercial and non technical losses.
  • Explain metering principles for energy and demand measurement.
  • Identify common metering errors and signs of tampering.
  • Calculate network losses and locate high loss areas.
  • Design measures that reduce technical losses in distribution.
  • Plan a revenue protection programme with measurable targets.
