Remove system loss charge

"Remove the System Loss Charge." 

It sounds simple but is it?

System loss is the electricity lost as power travels through transmission and distribution lines. Some losses are unavoidable due to physics, while others result from inefficiencies or electricity theft.

The real question isn't whether system loss exists, it does. The bigger question is who should shoulder the cost.

If the charge is removed from your bill, the cost doesn't automatically disappear. Depending on the ERC's final policy, it could be absorbed by utilities, recovered through other charges, or shifted elsewhere.

A more sustainable long-term solution is to reduce avoidable system losses through better infrastructure, improved efficiency, and stronger enforcement against electricity theft. Lower losses mean lower costs for everyone.

Do you think the system loss charge should remain transparent on our electricity bills, or should it be recovered in another way?
