Hi Phil, Having worked for Duke Energy/Cinergy/PSI Energy for 35 years in operations, system planning, substation design and the rate department doing rate design I can tell you there is no revenue lose due to energy losses. It is all rolled into the rates. So, all customers pay for system losses. However, you are correct that it is to the utilities advantage to find and correct these situations. Here in Indiana, the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) looks at the system losses in rate cases and reviews steps taken to mitigate system losses. System losses is one of many things included in the cost of service study presented to the commission when requesting a rate increase. The commission has questioned system losses in the past when they seemed out of line with previous lose figures given to them.

In another life when I was with the San Francisco office of the FCC, I used to refer IX calls to Pacific Gas & Electric in California and my contact there was Jim Gillespie in General Construction. Jim was a great help, and I used to kid him that if this was too much work for him he could always go back to washing insulators! His counterpart at Southern California Edison was also well-known as an IX-finder. We're all retired from IX-chasing now and I wouldn't have any idea who to refer such calls to today. As Ken Brown (W2KB) has pointed out over the years, it's to the advantage of the utility to find and fix such leaks (if that is the problem) because it loses money to have energy delivered to a non-paying load. 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 >From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmailman.qth.net%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Felecraft&data=02%7C01%7C%7C88b738f429bf4c0b955d08d8460093e6%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637336315572399413&sdata=7HhH4U13IBcLU7sioPmjxRKRrRp7eUV2W%2F6RhbHxLC4%3D&reserved=0 Help: https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmailman.qth.net%2Fmmfaq.htm&data=02%7C01%7C%7C88b738f429bf4c0b955d08d8460093e6%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637336315572399413&sdata=5mbIy6%2FFgUiDx277opyhvhTsZwgavXEWOV%2FvwSxiDBU%3D&reserved=0 Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.qsl.net%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7C88b738f429bf4c0b955d08d8460093e6%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637336315572409408&sdata=wObgxwvH90BGeXKRUEPQr1UoHE6ofYhSfsimBQzkxJo%3D&reserved=0 Please help support this email list: https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.qsl.net%2Fdonate.html&data=02%7C01%7C%7C88b738f429bf4c0b955d08d8460093e6%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637336315572409408&sdata=HLWx4rk1U4YsvVZz4pBbl%2BcweoXGeW%2B%2BlBmmy9l%2FPlo%3D&reserved=0 Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
