Question

What percentage of electricity is lost during transmission?

Answer 1

Answer:

Technical losses are normally 22.5%, and directly depend on the network characteristics and the mode of operation. The major amount of losses in a power system is in primary and secondary distribution lines. While transmission and sub-transmission lines account for only about 30% of the total losses

Answer 2

Explanation:

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that electricity transmission and distribution (T&D) losses equaled about 5% of the electricity transmitted and distributed in the United States in 2015 through 2019. EIA has estimates for total annual T&D losses in the State Electricity Profiles.
