The Ministry of Energy of Turkmenistan has approved the ‘Recommendations for calculating and analysing the technological consumption of electrical energy for transmission via the electrical networks of the Turkmenistan power system.’ This was reported by the online publication ‘Business Turkmenistan.’

The document, developed with the support of the European Union's SECCA project, establishes uniform methods for accounting and analysing electricity transmission losses, including the classification of losses and calculations for different voltage levels.

The data on the new recommendations will be used for reporting, planning loss reduction and identifying overloaded sections of the network, which will increase the transparency of accounting, reduce inefficient costs and strengthen the reliability of the power system.

Previously, with the support of SECCA, five regulatory documents were developed in Turkmenistan, and now, in collaboration with national experts, two more are being prepared for the further development of the energy sector.
