Electricity losses in the network decreased during the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period a year earlier. According to data from the Institute of Statistics, losses reached 320 gWh in the period April - June, from 323 gWh in the second quarter of 2024.

According to INSTAT, the share of network losses in total available electricity during the second quarter of 2025 is 17.3% from 18% in the second quarter of 2024, marking a decrease of 0.7%.

The transmission network has had an impact on the decline in energy losses, while the figures for the distribution network are almost unchanged. Losses in the distribution network are divided into technical and non-technical losses, while according to data from INSTAT, technical losses resulting from the depreciated network have increased, while non-technical losses, which include energy theft, have decreased.

More specifically, during the period April - June 2025, 202,398 mWh of energy results in technical losses, while 73,454 mWh, non-technical.

In fact, the Distribution System Operator has announced that it has undertaken numerous checks for electricity abuses at various entities in the country.

These inspections are carried out within the framework of law enforcement and the fight against informality, while based on risk analyses, the focus is on entities that present a possibility of electricity abuse. After the inspections, entities where theft is found are processed by the police for violations of the energy law.
