The losses without the impact of MV and RV power distribution to big consumers and overbilling to domestic and tube well consumers were scrutinized to find out actual loss of the company. The technical loss reduction techniques through applying Energy Management System and non-technical loss reduction through automation techniques were featured as the main mechanism for loss reduction. However, a strategic approach to keep holistic and heuristic operational mechanism is also suggested to keep a balance between all stakeholders and controlling all internal and external variables affecting overall performance of the company.
