Investments and lookouts to power distribution strive to cut AT&C losses

The power distribution system is critical in the energy value chain by delivering electricity from power plants to end-users. Its primary function is to supply power to customers at a low voltage level. In India, the power distribution sector is mainly dominated by the private sector, in contrast to transmission. Following the restructuring of the state power board, the power distribution industry has received increased investment and attention, with the launch of various initiatives and a precise regulatory framework aimed at reducing aggregate technical and commercial (AT&C) losses.

Ratna Garapati, Managing Director and CEO of CyanConnode India, is concerned about power consumption and payment discrepancies that put DISCOMs in debt. He stresses the importance of smart meters in covering all meters, including those used in agriculture. The goal is to reduce unapproved loss numbers and AT&C loss levels, and the RDSS schemes will aid in the growth of DISCOMs.

CyanConnode Holdings plc (LON:CYAN) is a world leader in the design and development of Narrowband RF mesh networks that enable Omni Internet of Things (IoT) communications.
