Forecast: Electric Power Transmission and Distribution Losses in Chile

Electric power transmission and distribution losses in Chile have demonstrated a consistent downward trend since 2013. As of 2023, losses stood at 5.33 units of electricity production, marking a substantial improvement from prior years. The year-on-year variations for 2022 and 2023 were -2.3% and -2.31% respectively, indicating a steady reduction in losses. Over the last five years, the average annual decrease (CAGR) was -2.29%, highlighting ongoing efficiency improvements.

Looking ahead, the forecast for 2024 to 2028 continues this positive trajectory, with an expected 5-year CAGR of -2.09% and an overall reduction of 10.01% by 2028. This trend suggests continued efforts in infrastructural improvements and technological advancements aimed at reducing transmission and distribution inefficiencies.

Future trends to watch for include:

• Further technological upgrades in grid infrastructure.
• Enhanced energy management systems.
• Potential impacts of renewable energy integration on system losses.
• Regulatory changes and their influence on operational efficiencies.
