Project Management for Loss Reduction (LR)
4
Project Management - Coordination and Tracking
• CEO concall with key stakeholders twice a week (Tuesday and
Thursday 11 AM), facilitation and resolution of field issues.
• Update on activities undertaken during the day in 10 PM HOD
Concall
• Mobile APP “Mission 7%” based tracking of activities –
generation and closure of leads in APP, user defined reports.
5
Project Management - Coordination and Tracking
• Daily analysis and ranking of executed activities
• Weekly coordination meeting (Wednesday 3 PM) of O&M,
Business, Enf., MMG, Surveillance, PMO simultaneously at
Circle locations
• Proactive facilitation by Circle wise PMO SPOC for LR
6
Project Management - Coordination and Tracking
• Planning at Sub cluster level (group of 6-10 DTs) / locality
• Target Setting and tracking at Sub Division SDO level – Lead
and Lag variables
• Daily system based tracking
• Weekly LR Champion
• Allocation of Vendors at Sub Division Level – Choice 1, 2, 3
• Monthly Vendor Score Card and action7

To achieve AT&C losses of 12.88% by FY 2015-16
BSES has the most evolved Enforcement Analytics in the Country
Analytics for Theft Control
Pre-Audit Check: Post-Audit
• Check for abnormal consumption
• Post-audit check after bill generation on Amount
• Bill is put on HOLD & released after amendments
Bill generated Bill Dispatched
• Consumers are sent energy conservation tips

LT level Sub-clusters for Loss Monitoring
14
Sub-cluster Features: • DT grouping of same area• Geographical based• No of DTs in group- 5~15 nos• Not overlap with zones of
respective divisionWhy Sub-cluster is required: • Possibility of Energy sharing
among DTs • Tagging issues- minimized• Specific Strategies – for
critical sub-clusters
Major LR Initiatives
15
Technical initiatives
• New Grids, HT and LT feeders
• DT Addition/ Augmentation for overloaded DT, HVDS
• Balancing of Load at all voltage levels; Shunt Capacitors at LV
• LT Less system for AP connections
• Pole Metering; Group Metering,
• HVDS Bushing mounted DB
• New armoured street light Ckts in HVDS area
• Heat Shrink Coatings on theft prone points in network
• Chemical Joints; Application of Conductive paste on LT bushings to reduce contact resistance
Specialised / Commercial Initiatives
• Meter Relocation, Old Meter Replacement; MS box with shearing nut arrangement
• Bare conductor with armour cable; Armour cable in place of heavily punctured AB cable span, armoured cast tape to secure joints.
• Enforcement activities - Curbing E-Rickshaw theft, Odd Hour/ Surprise raids, Lady Guards
• Facilitator engagement to support team on the ground
• Surveillance of ations taken and generation of LR leads
• Mobile APP "Mission 8%"
Community Engagement Initiatives
• Engagement of local ladies "Jyoti" in JJs
• Free LED against replacement of Old I/C bulbs
• Adult Literacy and Vocational Training Centers
• Self Defence Training for Girls
• Children Awareness Campaign
• Medical Health Check-up Camps; Sports activities
• Settlement of Enforcement dues on easy terms to encourage new connection
• Nukkad Natak ; Short Movies on losses and its impact

Bushing mounted DB in HVDS Areas
• Old DBs are more accessible to consumer reach• Mainly raising the height of DB towards LT bushing• Effective since the new installation is near to HT bushing and deterrent for breaking
New Street light Circuits• Laying of Theft proof Armoured cables in street light circuits• Application of auto controller helps in timely controlling of lighting points
Specialised LR Initiatives
18
Smart Pole Metering
• Pole metering unit with on-line communication • Each Pole unit has 9 meters with real time data to central servers• Very successful since results in high energy growthChallenges: Collection and Scattered location
LT Less system for AP connections• Theft through LT bare conductors in Agriculture connections• LT Less schemes ensures no direct taping through LV Mains. • Also reduces Technical losses
Specialised LR Initiatives
19
Specialized Connector Installation • Satellite Connectors are installed where Pole DBs are accessible for theft.• Pole DBs will be removed and connections are energized through specialized connectors
Heat Shrink / Armour Cast Tape Coatings
• Used in High Theft Pockets where Direct tapping is prominent• Direct theft is mainly through open joints at Pole DB or piercing connector• Coatings are very effective as difficult to tamper.

How loss is sustained after execution of LR activities?
• Sustenance is seen in major of Division
• <10% in 61% consumer – N0
• 10-25% gain in about 10% Customers – N1
• 25-50% gain in about 9%; - N2
• 50-100% gain in 7% - N3
• In 13% cases gain were >100% over same
period last year – N4.
LR effectiveness = N1+N2+N3+N4
=39%
DT Energy growth is discounted while calculating Gain
Impact analysis and Sustenance of LR activities
23
Flying squads for inspection and monitoring of BRPL network for
suspected electricity theft and Sustainability of LR activities performed
in high loss areas
• Identifies potential LR Leads
• On spot booking
• Sealing of open bus bars
• Faster is better – coordinate for early resolution of generated
leads.
• Check on quality, material used vs claimed and feedback
Surveillance and Inspection
24
Selection of Division Details related to
LR activitiesMIS
• Onsite punching of individual LR activities – By field / Execution Team / Vendors• SDO / LR Manager / Engineer to ensure 100% entry of about 2000 jobs per day.
